IkappaBalpha serves as a central anchoring molecule in the sequestration of NF-kappaB transcription factor in the cytoplasm. Ubiquitination-mediated IkappaBalpha degradation immediately precedes and is required for NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and activation. However, the precise mechanism for the deubiquitination of IkappaBalpha is still not fully understood. Using a proteomic approach, we have identified Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 11 (USP11) as an IkappaBalpha associated deubiquitinase. O ...[more]
