| Abstract | HeLa cells contain a DNA-binding activity which associates with a kappa B-like DNA element, termed Rel-related protein-binding element (RRBE), localized upstream of the human urokinase promoter. We have purified this activity from the HeLa cell cytosol and have shown that it represents a performed heteromeric complex between p65 (RelA) and c-Rel. Coexpression of c-Rel and p65 (RelA) by in vitro translation formed a DNA-binding complex indistinguishable from purified cellular c-Rel-p65 (RelA) in mobility shift assays. The c-Rel-p65 (RelA) complex was also formed in COS7 cells upon coexpression of c-Rel and p65 (RelA) cDNAs. Cotransfection experiments with COS7 cells, using expression plasmids encoding p50, p65 (RelA), or c-Rel and reporter constructs containing a trimerized RRBE, revealed that c-Rel-p65 (RelA) is a potent activator of the RRBE, giving rise to transcriptional activity higher than that observed with NF-kappa B (p50-p65). In the cytosol, the c-Rel-p65 (RelA) complex existed in a latent, non-DNA-binding form but could be activated by detergent treatment, suggesting that it was associated with an I kappa B protein. Recombinant I kappa B-alpha inhibited the DNA-binding activity of c-Rel-p65 (RelA) via association with either c-Rel or p65 (RelA). Finally, NF-kappa B and c-Rel-p65 (RelA) complexes were found to be differentially expressed and regulated in different cells. The two complexes were present in equimolar amounts in HeLa cells and K562 cells. Stimulation with tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) resulted in the nuclear translocation of both NF-kappa B and c-Rel-p65 (RelA) in HeLa cells and of NF-kappa B in HepG2 cells but had no effect on either complex in K562 cells. In addition, TPA stimulation of HepG2 cells induced the expression of a cytosolic latent c-Rel-p65 (RelA) complex which, however, was not translocated to the nucleus. In conclusion, our findings show that c-Rel-p65 (RelA) is an inducible and very potent transcriptional activator which is differentially activated in a cell-type-specific manner. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
