Comparison of NF-κB from the protists Capsaspora owczarzaki and Acanthoeca spectabilis reveals extensive evolutionary diversification of this transcription factor

Comparison of NF-κB from the protists Capsaspora owczarzaki and Acanthoeca spectabilis reveals extensive evolutionary diversification of this transcription factor

Transcription factor NF-ĸB is a key regulator of immunity in mammals, but its function in protists like Capsaspora and choanoflagellates is not known. Here, Leah Williams et al. characterize and compare the structure, activity, and regulation of NF-ĸB from Capsaspora and one choanoflagellate, provid...
