NF-κB is the master regulator of the immune response and is responsible for the transcription of hundreds of genes controlling inflammation and immunity. Activation of NF-κB occurs in the cytoplasm through the kinase activity of the IκB kinase complex, which leads to translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, NF-κB transcriptional activity is regulated by DNA binding-dependent ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. We have identified the deubiquitinase Ubiquitin Specific Pr ...[more]
