Sažetak

NF-kB transcription factors were discovered 25 years ago and since then they have been in the focus of biomedical research. Their important role in immune system development is recognized and NF-kB is becoming more attractive because of its role in cancer biology. Understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling NF-kB activity appear important as possible therapeutic targets of numerous human diseases. Here we summarize how ubiquitin networks control the NF-kB pathway and specifically focus on recent findings implicating linear ubiquitin chains as critical components in this process.
