IkB Cell. 1998; 95: 749-58.
NLS of p65 interacting with IkB Cell. 1998; 95: 749-58.
p50/p65 heterodimer • β-sheet sandwich • hydrophobic core • p50/p65 heterodimer greater stability than p50 homodimer • High DNA affinity

P50/p65 heterodimer bound to DNA Nature. 1998; 391: 410-3.
p50/p65 DNA binding sites • Structure. 2002; 10(3): 383-391.
Hodgkins Lymphoma • malignant tumors in the lymph system • Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells • Cells exhibit constitutive NF-kB activity • Cells resist apoptosis • Somatic hypermutation of Ig region • low affinity - die by Fas-mediated apoptosis • high affinity - stimulated to proliferate
Treatment • IkB super repressor • bortezomib - Proteasome repressor • Novel solution – c-FLIP inhibitor
