The transcription factor NF-kappaB regulates genes involved in innate and adaptive immune response, inflammation, apoptosis, and oncogenesis. Proinflammatory cytokines induce the activation of NF-kappaB in both transient and persistent phases. We investigated the mechanism for this biphasic NF-kappaB activation. Our results show that MEKK3 is essential in the regulation of rapid activation of NF-kappaB, whereas MEKK2 is important in controlling the delayed activation of NF-kappaB in response to stimulation with the cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha. MEKK3 is involved in the formation of the IkappaBalpha:NF-kappaB/IKK complex, whereas MEKK2 participates in assembling the IkappaBbeta:NF-kappaB/IKK complex; these two distinct complexes regulate the proinflammatory cytokine-induced biphasic NF-kappaB activation. Thus, our study reveals a novel mechanism in which different MAP3K and IkappaB isoforms are involved in specific complex formation with IKK and NF-kappaB for regulating the biphasic NF-kappaB activation. These findings provide further insight into the regulation of cytokine-induced specific and temporal gene expression.
