Specificity

The IKK-gamma inhibitory peptide contains a protein transduction (PTD) sequence (DRQIKIWFQNRRMKWKK) derived from antennapedia which renders the peptide cell permeable (Derossi et al, The third helix of the antennapedia homeodomain translocates through biological membranes. J Biol Chem. 269:10444-10450 (1994)] .The control peptide consists of only the PTD sequence.

Applications

Block/Neutralize (reported in scientific literature (PMID 28166799))
Functional (Inhibition) (reported in scientific literature (PMID 24361600))

Application Notes

Inhibition of NF-kB activitiy in vivo and in vitro by interefering with IKK complex formation
Researchers can study the effect of NBD inhibitor peptide using a variety of methods. Quantitative readout assays include NF-kB/p65 ActivELISA Kit, Phospho-IkBalpha ActivELISA Kit and EMSA. Immunocytochemistry can also be used as a readout assay for visualizing the subcellular localization of NF-kB; activated NF-kB localizes to the nucleus, whereas NF-kB in the cytoplasm is generally considered be inactive.

U266 cells and EMSA assay are used to quality control every lot of the NBD inhibitor peptide set (Fig. 2). This protocol is written for U266, a human multiple myeloma cell line. Multiple myeloma is a B-cell malignancy, and a number of multiple myeloma cells lines, including U266, have been found to have constitutively active NF-kB. The EMSA assay shows that NBD suppressed the constitutive activation of NF-kB in U266 cells. The mmunocytochemistry data provides supporting evidence that the nuclear translocation of NF-kB was lost when the U266 cells were incubated with NBD (Fig.3).

Researchers must optimize assay methods for the NBD inhibitory peptide for different cell types. These include incubation time and amount of peptide used in an experiment. Depending on the cell types, morphology of cells may change after 2 hr of incubation with NBD peptide. For example, CHO cells become rounder in appearance after 2 hr incubation with NBD peptides. Since NF-kB is an important molecule for cell survival and proliferation, blockade of NF-kB activation by inhibiting IKK complex formation may prevent cell proliferation, which has been observed for CHO cells at 12 hrs. Researchers are advised to monitor the viability of cells for long-term incubation with the inhibitor.

In vivo assay: IKK gamma Inhibitor Peptide Set [NBP2-26504]

In vivo assay: IKK gamma Inhibitor Peptide Set [NBP2-26504] - NBD peptide blocks constitutive NF-kB activation in human multiple myeloma cells. U266 cells were treated with 100 uM of control (A & B) or NBD peptide (C & D) for 12 hr, cytospun, plated on glass slides, air dried for 1 hr at room temperature and fixed with cold acetone. Slides were blocked with 5% normal goat serum for 1 hr and then incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-human p65 antibody (A & C) followed by Ig-Alexa 594 second step. In control peptide treated cells, p65 translocates to nucleus (A), whereas NBD peptide prevents translocation of p65 into the nucleus (C). B & D: Nuclear staining with DNA binding dye.
IKK gamma Inhibitor Peptide Set [NBP2-26504] - The IKK complex consists of IKKalpha + IKKbeta+ NEMO. NEMO (IKKgamma/NF-kB Essential MOdulator) is a scaffold protein required for the kinase activity of IKKalpha + IKKbeta. NBD (NEMO Binding Domain) inhibits formation of the IKK complex (IKKalpha + IKKbeta+ NEMO) by binding to NEMO and blocking IKK complex formation. In this regard, NBD is considered to be an 'IKKalpha and IKKBeta decoy' Blocking IKK complex formation suppresses downstream events in the NF-kB signaling pathway that rely on the IKK complex including phosphorylation of IkBalpha, and subsequence IkBalpha ubiquination, degradation and release of NF-kB. Hence, NF-kB is retained in the cytoplasm in its inactive state.

Background: IKK gamma

IKK-Gamma binds to specific sequences on IKKAlpha and IKKBeta, forming the IKK complex. The IKK complex phosphorylates downstream signaling molecules during NF-kB activation. The IKK-Gamma inhibitory peptide contains an IKKAlpha and IKKBeta consensus binding sequence, called NEMO binding domain or NBD. When IKKAlpha and IKKBeta are bound to the IKKGamma NBD peptide, they can not bind to IKKGamma. Thus the formation and function of the IKK complex is blocked.
