DESCRIPTION

Also known as NEMO_HUMAN, IKBKG, FIP3, NEMO. Regulatory subunit of the IKK core complex which phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B thus leading to the dissociation of the inhibitor/NF-kappa-B complex and ultimately the degradation of the inhibitor (PubMed:9751060, PubMed:14695475, PubMed:20724660). Its binding to scaffolding polyubiquitin plays a key role in IKK activation by multiple signaling receptor pathways (PubMed:16547522, PubMed:18287044, PubMed:19033441, PubMed:21606507, PubMed:27777308, PubMed:19185524, PubMed:33567255). Can recognize and bind both 'Lys-63'-linked and linear polyubiquitin upon cell stimulation, with a much higher affinity for linear polyubiquitin (PubMed:16547522, PubMed:18287044, PubMed:27777308, PubMed:19033441, PubMed:21606507, PubMed:19185524). Could be implicated in NF-kappa-B-mediated protection from cytokine toxicity. Essential for viral activation of IRF3 (PubMed:19854139). Involved in TLR3- and IFIH1-mediated antiviral innate response; this function requires 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination (PubMed:20724660)., (Microbial infection) Also considered to be a mediator for HTLV-1 Tax oncoprotein activation of NF-kappa-B. Homodimer; disulfide-linked (PubMed:18164680). Component of the I-kappa-B-kinase (IKK) core complex consisting of CHUK, IKBKB and IKBKG; probably four alpha/CHUK-beta/IKBKB dimers are associated with four gamma/IKBKG subunits (PubMed:9751060, PubMed:9891086, PubMed:11080499, PubMed:18462684, PubMed:17977820). The IKK core complex seems to associate with regulatory or adapter proteins to form a IKK-signalosome holo-complex (PubMed:9751060, PubMed:9891086, PubMed:11080499). The IKK complex associates with TERF2IP/RAP1, leading to promote IKK-mediated phosphorylation of RELA/p65 (By similarity). Part of a complex composed of NCOA2, NCOA3, CHUK/IKKA, IKBKB, IKBKG and CREBBP (PubMed:11971985). Interacts with COPS3, CYLD, NALP2, TRPC4AP and PIDD1 (PubMed:15456791, PubMed:16360037, PubMed:12917691, PubMed:11418127). Interacts with ATM; the complex is exported from the nucleus (PubMed:16497931). Interacts with TRAF6 (PubMed:17728323). Interacts with IKBKE (PubMed:23453969). Interacts with TANK; the interaction is enhanced by IKBKE and TBK1 (PubMed:12133833). Part of a ternary complex consisting of TANK, IKBKB and IKBKG (PubMed:12133833). Interacts with ZFAND5 (PubMed:14754897). Interacts with RIPK2 (PubMed:18079694). Interacts with TNIP1 and TNFAIP3; TNIP1 facilitates the TNFAIP3-mediated de-ubiquitination of IKBKG (PubMed:11389905, PubMed:22099304). Interacts with TNFAIP3; the interaction is induced by TNF stimulation and by polyubiquitin (PubMed:11389905, PubMed:22099304). Binds (via UBAN region) polyubiquitin; binds both 'Lys-63'-linked and linear polyubiquitin, with higher affinity for linear ubiquitin (PubMed:16547522, PubMed:19033441, PubMed:21606507, PubMed:19185524). Interacts with NLRP10 (PubMed:22672233). Interacts with TANK; this interaction increases in response to DNA damage (PubMed:25861989). Interacts with USP10; this interaction increases in response to DNA damage (PubMed:25861989). Interacts with ZC3H12A; this interaction increases in response to DNA damage (PubMed:25861989). Interacts with IFIT5; the interaction synergizes the recruitment of IKK to MAP3K7 and enhances IKK phosphorylation (PubMed:26334375). Interacts with TRIM29; this interaction induces IKBKG/NEMO ubiquitination and proteolytic degradation (PubMed:27695001). Interacts with TRIM13; this interaction leads to IKBKG/NEMO ubiquitination (PubMed:25152375). Interacts with ARFIP2 (PubMed:26296658). Interacts with RIPK1 (By similarity). Interacts with (ubiquitinated) BCL10; interaction with polyubiquitinated BCL10 via both 'Lys-63'-linked and linear ubiquitin is required for TCR-induced NF-kappa-B activation (PubMed:18287044, PubMed:27777308).
