Two related kinases, Ikappa B kinase alpha  (IKKalpha ) and IKKbeta , phosphorylate the Ikappa B proteins, leading to their degradation and the subsequent activation of gene expression by NF-kappa B. IKKbeta has a much higher level of kinase activity for the Ikappa B proteins than does IKKalpha and is more critical than IKKalpha in modulating tumor necrosis factor alpha activation of the NF-kappa B pathway. These results indicate an important role for IKKbeta in activating the NF-kappa B pathway but leave open the question of the role of IKKalpha in regulating this pathway. In the current study, we demonstrate that IKKalpha directly phosphorylates IKKbeta . Moreover, IKKalpha either directly or indirectly enhances IKKbeta kinase activity for Ikappa Balpha . Finally, transfection studies to analyze NF-kappa B-directed gene expression suggest that IKKalpha is upstream of IKKbeta in activating the NF-kappa B pathway. These results indicate that IKKalpha , in addition to its previously described ability to phosphorylate Ikappa Balpha , can increase the ability of IKKbeta to phosphorylate Ikappa Balpha .
