1 We further show that MHBs, forcibly retained in the cell by C-terminal fusion to the endoplasmic reticulum retention signal KDEL (MHBsKDEL), mimics the effects of MHBs(t167) in enhancing the nuclear-binding activity of transcription factors NFkappaB and AP-1, and activation of NFkappaB- and AP-1-dependent transcription of reporter genes. mhbs MHB Homo sapiens
2 As is the case for MHBs(t167), MHBsKDEL-dependent activation of NFkappaB is inhibited by the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine indicating the involvement of reactive oxygen intermediates and suggesting a similar mechanism of activation. mhbs MHB Homo sapiens
