The Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) acts as a negative
regulator of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (MAPK) cascade
initiated by Raf-1. RKIP inhibits the phosphorylation of
MAP/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (MEK1) by Raf-1 by
disrupting the interaction between these two kinases. We show here that
RKIP also antagonizes the signal transduction pathways that mediate the
activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-
B)
in response to stimulation with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-
)
or interleukin 1 beta. Modulation of RKIP expression levels affected
NF-
B signaling independent of the MAPK pathway. Genetic epistasis
analysis involving the ectopic expression of kinases acting in the
NF-
B pathway indicated that RKIP acts upstream of the kinase complex
that mediates the phosphorylation and inactivation of the inhibitor of
NF-
B (I
B). In vitro kinase assays showed that RKIP antagonizes
the activation of the I
B kinase (IKK) activity elicited by TNF-
.
RKIP physically interacted with four kinases of the NF-
B activation
pathway, NF-
B-inducing kinase, transforming growth factor
beta-activated kinase 1, IKK
, and IKK
. This mode of action bears
striking similarities to the interactions of RKIP with Raf-1 and MEK1
in the MAPK pathway. Emerging data from diverse organisms suggest that
RKIP and RKIP-related proteins represent a new and evolutionarily
highly conserved family of protein kinase regulators. Since the MAPK
and NF-
B pathways have physiologically distinct roles, the function
of RKIP may be, in part, to coordinate the regulation of these pathways.
