NfKB Responsive promoter
A synthetic promoter upregulated by NF-κB activation. Manufactured by [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Project_Synthetic_promoters RA-PCR].
Usage and Biology
NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) is a transcription factor (TF) which regulates many different target genes resulting in the expression of various proteins. In most cell types (with the exception of B cells and Dentritic cells) NF-κB is bound to the Inhibitor of κB (IκB), which withhold NF-κB from entering the nucleus. When the cell becomes activated by an extra cellular stimluli, IκB is degraded and NF-κB can enter the nucleus. Within the nucleus NF-κB is able to enhance transcription of genes which are involved in immune response, cell proliferation or cell survival, depending on cell type and extra cellular stimuli. In many cells NF-κB regulates anti-apoptotic proteins (e.g. TRAF1/2) and therby preventing cell death. Therefore mutations of NF-κB resulting in a constitutively active form are often associated with unregulated cell proliferation and cancer. In macrophages the NF-κB signalling pathway could be activated by binding of bacterial lipopolysacchride (LPS). There NF-κB activation leads to secretion of cytokines which influence other lymphocytes. For references see [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Eucaryopedia#Transcription_factors Eucaryopedia].

Functional Parameters
NF-κB was induced with 2,5µM TNF-α in [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Eucaryopedia#U2-OS U2-OS] cells. Expression level was determined in [http://2009.igem.org/Team:Heidelberg/Measurement REU] by flow cytometry (3 experiments on different days, 3 replicates / wells per experiment) 10 hours after induction. Promoter was shown to be specific to NF-κB
