Activation of the inhibitor of kappa B kinase subunit beta (IKK beta) oligomer initiates a cascade that results in the translocation of transcription factors involved in mediating immune responses. Dimerization of IKK beta is required for its activation. Coarse-grained and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the conformation-activity and structure-activity relationships within the oligomer assembly of IKK beta that are impacted upon activation, mutation, and binding of ATP. Intermolecular interactions, free energies, and conformational changes were compared among several conformations, including a monomer, two different dimers, and the tetramer. Modifications to the activation segment induce conformational changes that disrupt dimerization and suggest that the multimeric assembly mediates a global stability for the enzyme that influences the activity of IKK beta.
