    Description: Insects have an efficient defense system against infections. Their antibacterial immune proteins have been well characterized. However, the molecular mechanisms by which insects recognize foreignness are not yet known. Data are presented showing that hemolin (previously named P4), a bacteria-inducible hemolymph protein of the giant silk moth Hyalophora cecropia, belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Functional analyses indicate that hemolin is one of the first hemolymph components to bind to the bacterial surface, taking part in a protein complex formation that is likely to initiate the immune response.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sun, S C -- Lindstrom, I -- Boman, H G -- Faye, I -- Schmidt, O -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Dec 21;250(4988):1729-32.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology, University of Stockholm, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2270488" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The eukaryotic transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) participates in many parts of the genetic program mediating T lymphocyte activation and growth. Nuclear expression of NF-kappa B occurs after its induced dissociation from its cytoplasmic inhibitor I kappa B alpha. Phorbol ester and tumor necrosis factor-alpha induction of nuclear NF-kappa B is associated with both the degradation of performed I kappa B alpha and the activation of I kappa B alpha gene expression. Transfection studies indicate that the I kappa B alpha gene is specifically induced by the 65-kilodalton transactivating subunit of NF-kappa B. Association of the newly synthesized I kappa B alpha with p65 restores intracellular inhibition of NF-kappa B DNA binding activity and prolongs the survival of this labile inhibitor. Together, these results show that NF-kappa B controls the expression of I kappa B alpha by means of an inducible autoregulatory pathway.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sun, S C -- Ganchi, P A -- Ballard, D W -- Greene, W C -- 5T32CA09111/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Mar 26;259(5103):1912-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8096091" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
