Abstract

The components of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) family of transcription factors are critical for regulating the response to immune challenges. Recently, a role for NF-kappaB in skin biology has been revealed. Within the cascade of proteins whose activities impinge upon the activation of NF-kappaB, the NEMO (NF-kappaB essential modulator)/IKKgamma protein is required for the activation of the IkappaB kinases, which in turn, promote the degradation of IkappaB proteins, leading to the derepression of NF-kappaB activity. Courtois and Israël discuss the role of NEMO/IKKgamma in normal physiological activation of NF-kappaB and the consequences of defective NF-kappaB activation, as an effect of NEMO/IKKgamma mutations, which can lead to incontinentia pigmenti, a disease marked by alopecia, tooth eruption, skin lesions, and changes in skin pigmentation.
