Par-4 is a novel protein identified in cells undergoing apoptosis. The ability of Par-4 to
promote apoptotic cell death is dependent on the binding and inactivation of the atypical
protein kinases C (PKCs). This subfamily of kinases has been reported to control nuclear
factor κB (NF-κB) through the regulation of the IκB kinase activity. NF-κB activation by tumor
necrosis factor α (TNFα) provides a survival signal that impairs the TNFα-induced apoptotic
response. We show here that expression of Par-4 inhibits the TNFα-induced nuclear …
