The C-terminal, partially truncated forms of the NF-kappa B2/p52 precursor p100, p100 Delta Cs, manifest constitutive processing and oncogenic ability, although the responsible mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we report that p100 Delta Cs are specifically processed in association with binding to promoter DNA-containing KB sites. In the nucleus, p100 Delta Cs bind to the kappa B promoter DNA and subsequently recruit the proteasome to form a stable proteasome/p100 Delta C/DNA complex, which mediates the processing of p100 Delta Cs. Notably, the processing at the KB promoter is initiated by a proteasome-mediated endoproteolytic cleavage at amino acid Dots of p100 Delta Cs, and the processed p52, but not the precursors themselves, is oncogenic by up-regulating a subset of target genes. Our studies demonstrate a different mechanism of p100 processing and also present evidence showing that the proteasome modulates the action of transcription factors at promoter regions through endoproteolysis.
