Abstract

The importance of parallel signaling pathways controlling NF-κB subunit posttranslational modifications is demonstrated by Sen et al. (2012), who reveal that RelA (p65) sulfhydration, at its highly conserved cysteine 38 residue, regulates association with the coactivator RPS3, DNA binding, and antiapoptotic gene expression.
