Abstract: Redox regulation of nuclear factor {kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B) has been described, but the molecular mechanism underlying such regulation has remained unclear. We recently showed that a novel disulfide reductase, TRP14, inhibits tumor necrosis factor {alpha} (TNF{alpha})-induced NF-{kappa}B activation, and we identified the dynein light chain LC8, which interacts with the NF-{kappa}B inhibitor I{kappa}B{alpha}, as a potential substrate of TRP14. We now show the molecular mechanism by which NF-{kappa}B activation is redox-dependently regulated through LC8. LC8 inhibited TNF{alpha}-induced NF-{kappa}B activation in HeLa cells by interacting with I{kappa}B{alpha} and thereby preventing its phosphorylation by I{kappa}B kinase (IKK), without affecting the activity of IKK itself. TNF{alpha} induced the production of reactive oxygen species, which oxidized LC8 to a homodimer linked by the reversible formation of a disulfide bond between the Cys2 residues of each subunit and thereby resulted in its dissociation from I{kappa}B{alpha}. Butylated hydroxyanisol, an antioxidant, and diphenyleneiodonium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, attenuated the phosphorylation and degradation of I{kappa}B{alpha} by TNF{alpha} stimulation. In addition LC8 inhibited NF-{kappa}B activation by other stimuli including interleukin-1β and lipopolysaccharide, both of which generated reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, TRP14 catalyzed reduction of oxidized LC8. Together, our results indicate that LC8 binds I{kappa}B{alpha} in a redox-dependent manner and thereby prevents its phosphorylation by IKK. TRP14 contributes to this inhibitory activity by maintaining LC8 in a reduced state.
