Interleukin-1β and Glutamate Activate the NF-κB/Rel Binding Site from the Regulatory Region of the Amyloid Precursor Protein Gene in Primary Neuronal Cultures

Abstract excerpt

We originally reported that members of the family of transcription factors NF-kappaB/Rel can specifically recognize two identical sequences, referred to as APPkappaB sites, which are present in the 5'-regulatory region of the APP gene. Here we show that the APPkappaB sites interact specifically with a complex which contains one of the subunits of the family, defined as p50 protein, and that they act as positive...
