A novel member of the I kappa B family has been identified as a protein that associated with the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B in a yeast two-hybrid screen, Similar to previously known I kappa B proteins, this member, I kappa B epsilon, has sis consecutive ankyrin repeats. I kappa B epsilon mRNA is widely expressed in different human tissues, with highest le,els in spleen. testis, and lung, I kappa B epsilon interacts with different NF-kappa B proteins, including p65 (RelA), c-Rel, p50, and p52, in vitro and in vivo and inhibits the DNA-binding activity of both p50-p65 and p50-c-Rel complexes effectively, Endogenous and transfected NF-kappa B (RelA-dependent) transcriptional activation is inhibited by I kappa B epsilon, I kappa B epsilon mRNA is expressed at different levels in specific cell types and is synthesized constitutively in transformed B-cell Lines, It also displays differential induction in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1, or phorbol ester stimulation compared to I kappa B alpha in non-B cell lines. Therefore, I kappa B epsilon represents a novel I kappa B family member which provides an alternative mechanism for regulation of NF-kappa B-dependent transcription.
