SIMILARITY | Belongs to the ELP1/IKA1 family. |
SUBUNIT | Component of the RNA polymerase II elongator complex (Elongator) made of at least six subunits, ELP1/ELO2, ELP2, ELP3/ELO3, ELP4/ELO1, ELP5, and ELP6. |
DISEASE | Defects in IKBKAP are the cause of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 3 (HSAN3) [MIM:223900]; also known as Riley-Day syndrome or familial dysautonomia (FD). This autosomal recessive disorder is due to the poor development and survival, and progressive degeneration of the sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. HSAN3 individuals are affected with a variety of symptoms such as decreased sensitivity to pain and temperature, cardiovascular instability, recurrent pneumonias, vomiting crises, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is primarily confined to individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, with an incidence of 1/3'600 live births. |

Background Descriptions | The transcription factor NFkB is retained in the cytoplasm in an inactive form by the inhibitory protein IkB. Activation of NFkB requires that IkB be phosphorylated on specific serine residues, which results in the targeted degradation of IkB (1). IkB kinase alpha (IKK alpha), previously designated CHUK (2), interacts with IkB-alpha and specifically phosphorylates IkB-alpha on the sites that trigger its degradation, serines 32 and 36 (3). IKKalpha appears to be critical for NFkB activation in response to proinflammatory cytokines (4). Phosphorylation of the IkB by IKK alpha is stimulated by the NFkB inducing kinase (NIK), which itself is a central regulator for NFkB activation in response to TNF and IL-1 (5). The functional IKK complex contains three subunits, IKK alpha, IKK beta and IKK gamma (also designated NEMO), and each appears to make essential contributions to IkB phosphorylation (6). IKAP (IKK-complex-associated protein) is a protein that acts as a scaffold, interacting with NIK, IKK alpha and IKK beta and assembling them into an active kinase complex (7,8) |

Function | Component of the elongator complex which is required for multiple tRNA modifications, including mcm5U (5-methoxycarbonylmethyl uridine), mcm5s2U (5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine), and ncm5U (5-carbamoylmethyl uridine) (PubMed:29332244). The elongator complex catalyzes the formation of carboxymethyluridine in the wobble base at position 34 in tRNAs (PubMed:29332244). Regulates the migration and branching of projection neurons in the developing cerebral cortex, through a process depending on alpha-tubulin acetylation (By similarity). ELP1 binds to tRNA, mediating interaction of the elongator complex with tRNA (By similarity). May act as a scaffold protein that assembles active IKK-MAP3K14 complexes (IKKA, IKKB and MAP3K14/NIK) (PubMed:9751059). |
