Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 15RQ
How does NF-kB induce gene expression?
- A small, hydrophobic ligand binds to NF-kB, activating it.
- Phosphorylation of the inhibitor Ik-B dissociates the complex between it and NF- kB, and allows NF-kB to enter the nucleus and stimulate transcription.
- NF-kB is phosphorylated and is then free to enter the nucleus and bind DNA.
- NF-kB is a kinase that phosphorylates a transcription factor that binds DNA and promotes protein production.

Students have asked these similar questions
Cytokine receptors and tyrosine kinase receptors are similar in all of the following ways EXCEPT one. Which one
is the exception?
O They are both down-regulated by lysosomal degradation
They both involve receptor exoplasmic domain dimerization
They both result in an effector protein entering the nucleus
O They both involve cytosolic domain phosphorylation
What is the purpose of the Map Kinase Cascade?
which of the following correctly describes how protein kinase A can activate genes?
A: nuclear protein kinase A is activated by cAMP to phosphorylate general transcription factors
B: cytosolic protein kinase A is activated by cAMP to release the catalytic subunits, which move into the nucleus and phosphorylate CREB
C: cytosolic protein kinase A is activated by cAMP to release the catalytic subunits, which move into the nucleus and phosphorylate general transcription factors
D: G protein-coupled receptors may be desensitized by serine phosphorylation
