摘要
Abstract. NF-κB is an evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic transcription factor that plays a role in many important developmental and immune-related processes by activating target gene expression. The goal of these experiments was to define the sequences required for a sea anemone NF-κB's intrinsic transactivation activity by using mutant proteins with serial deletions of the N- and C-terminal sequences. Deletion mutants were constructed that were missing the C-terminal 15, 32 or 47 amino acids (aa) or the N-terminal 17, 27 or 47 aa of the 440 aa NF-κB protein from the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis (Nv), a simple model organism in the phylum Cnidaria. These Nv-NF-κB mutants were expressed as GAL4 fusion proteins in yeast, and their transactivation activities were assessed by LacZ reporter gene assays. The deletion of 47 aa from either the N terminus or the C terminus of NF-κB completely inactivates the transactivation function of Nv-NF-κB. In addition, we identified proline-258 in the center ...
