Tetrameric Oligomerization of I{kappa}B Kinase {gamma} (IKK{gamma}) Is Obligatory for IKK Complex Activity and NF-{kappa}B Activation

The I{kappa}B kinase (IKK) complex mediates activation of transcription factor NF-{kappa}B by phosphorylation of I{kappa}B proteins. Its catalytic subunits, IKK{alpha} and IKKß, require association with the regulatory IKK{gamma} (NEMO) component to gain full basal and inducible kinase activity. However, the oligomeric composition of the IKK complex and its regulation by IKK{gamma} are poorly understood. We show here that IKK{gamma} predominantly forms tetramers and interacts with IKK{alpha} or IKKß in this state. We propose that tetramerization is accomplished by a prerequisite dimerization through a C-terminal coiled-coil minimal oligomerization domain (MOD). This is followed by dimerization of the dimers with their N-terminal sequences. Tetrameric IKK{gamma} sequesters four kinase molecules, yielding a {gamma}4({alpha}/ß)4 stoichiometry. Deletion of the MOD leads to loss of tetramerization and of phosphorylation of IKKß and IKK{gamma}, although the kinase can still interact with the resultant IKK{gamma} monomers and dimers. Likewise, MOD-mediated IKK{gamma} tetramerization is required to enhance IKKß kinase activity when overexpressed in 293 cells and to reconstitute a lipopolysaccharide-responsive IKK complex in pre-B cells. These data thus suggest that IKK{gamma} tetramerization enforces a spatial positioning of two kinase dimers to facilitate transautophosphorylation and activation.
