Mechanism of IKK activation by the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus protein vFLIP and its cellular homologues

Activation of the NF-κB pathway is linked to cancer development and progression. Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV8) encodes vFLIP which binds to the NEMO/IKKγ subunit of IKK and constitutively activates NF-κB, leading to tumourigenesis. Cellular FLIPs, which share sequence homology...
