title: [New functions of NEMO, the regulatory subunit of IKK].
abstract: The key role of NEMO, the regulatory subunit of IKK, in the NF-kB activation process is firmly established. A series of recent publications suggests that this protein also participates in the genotoxic response, after modification by sumoylation in the nucleus, and coordinates the activation of both NF-kB and IRFs during viral infection, through its interaction with TANK adaptor and TBK1/IKKepsilon kinases.
