Two catalytic subunits of the IKK complex, IKK alpha and IKK beta, trigger NF-kappa B activation as well as NF-kappa B-independent signaling events under both physiological and pathological conditions. Here we identified the NF-kappa B-unrelated cytoprotective function of IKK alpha in promoting autophagy by triggering p53 transactivation and upregulation of its downstream autophagic mediator, DRAM1, in the arsenite-treated hepatoma cells, which responses depended on IKK alpha kinase activity. Furthermore, IKK alpha triggered p53/DRAM1-dependent autophagy by inducing CHK1 activation and CHK1/p53 interaction. Interestingly, after provoking autophagy, IKK alpha could be specifically recognized by the autophagic machinery via directly binding with LC3B, resulting in selective degradation of IKK alpha by autophagy. Unexpectedly, the selectivity of autophagic sequestration towards IKK alpha was mediated by novel mechanism independent of the classical LC3-interacting regions (LIRs) within IKK alpha, while C-terminal arm of LIR was involved in mediating IKK alpha/LC3B interaction. Taken together, we conclude that IKK alpha attenuates arsenite-induced apoptosis by inducing p53-dependent autophagy, and then selective feedback degradation of IKK alpha by autophagy contributes to the cytotoxic response induced by arsenite.
