The activation of I kappaB kinase (IKK) is a key step in the nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. IKK is a complex composed of three subunits: IKK alpha, IKK beta, and IKK gamma (also called NEMO). In response to the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IKK is activated after being recruited to the TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1) complex via TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2). We found that the IKK alpha and IKK beta catalytic subunits are required for IKK-TRAF2 interaction. This interaction occurs through the leucine zipper motif common to IKK alpha, IKK beta, and the RING finger domain of TRAF2, and either IKKa or IKK beta alone is sufficient for the recruitment of IKK to TNF-R1. Importantly, IKK gamma is not essential for TNF-induced IKK recruitment to TNF-R1, as this occurs efficiently in IKK gamma -deficient cells. Using TRAF2(-/-) cells, we demonstrated that the TNF-induced interaction between IKK gamma and the death domain kinase RIP is TRAF2 dependent and that one possible function of this interaction is to stabilize the IKK complex when it interacts with TRAF2.
