IκBα, encoded by NFKBIA, is the prototype inhibitor of transcription factor NF-κB. Notably, the transcription of NFKBIA is directly regulated by NF-κB. In contrast, the contribution of post-transcriptional regulation in the expression of NFKBIA remains obscure. To elucidate the post-transcriptional regulation of NFKBIA, we first aligned the 3?-UTR from several different species (human, mouse, rat, dog and cow). The alignment results revealed that the 3?-UTR sequences were highly conserved among these analyzed species. Dual luciferase assay analysis showed that 3?-UTR of mouse NFKBIA downregulated the expression of associated luciferase gene. Heat shock treatment stabilized NFKBIA mRNA and promote the expression of luciferase gene associated with mouse NFKBIA 3?-UTR. Biotin-labeled RNA pulldown assay followed mass spectrometry analysis identified specific binding proteins to the 3?-UTR of mouse NFKBIA mRNA. Half of them were identified as ribosomal proteins of 40S and 60S ribosome subunits.
Keywords:NFKBIA;post-transcriptional regulation;RNA binding protein
