Analysing the role of UVB-induced translational inhibition and PP2Ac deactivation in NF-κB signalling using a minimal mathematical model.

Activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) by interleukin-1β (IL-1) usually results in an anti-apoptotic activity that is rapidly terminated by a negative feedback loop involving NF-κB dependent resynthesis of its own inhibitor IκBα. However, apoptosis induced by ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) is not at...
