5-see how much radioactivity
Why should Phosphoinosotides bind PH domains?

ie IP3 and PLC compete for access to substrate (PIP2)
2-Allosteric regulation: changing prot. conformation
ie: PIP3 changes conformation of Akt (PI3K pathway)
GFP-base PI biosensors
Responsive to changes in [PI] resulting in different ability of PH domains to localize to mmb
ie: PH from mmb to cytosol with PLC activation (increased IP3 competes for PH domain of PIP3 and others)
Other non-PH-related roles of PIP2

2. Regulation of ion channels

Results: 5' myc tag shows p50 band. 3' HA tag NO band. So processing is 3'->5'
Evidence for IkB
EMSA
-No DNA binding w/out treatment

*conclusion: IKK-kinases are specific to cytokine
NIK req'd for P100-->P52 processing
P100-->P52 processing
In alternate NF-kB pathway
NIK phosphorylation of IKKa is required for this
Canonical Pathway
TNF-->IKKb/a/g(NEMO)-->P105/RelA-->P50/RelA-->DNA

MANY ways of activating this pathway on many levels!
