Abstract
The p50 subunit of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is generated from processing of the p105 precursor. We identified KIP1 ubiquitination-promoting complex 1 (KPC1) as the ubiquitin (Ub) ligase mediating this process. Overexpression of KPC1 results in tumor suppression, probably due to the generation of p50-p50 homodimers. It appears that high levels of KPC1 and nuclear p50 are important for maintaining the non-malignant state.Entities:
