Irak1 gene expression is inhibited by Mecp2
In mouse cortical neurons, Mecp2 represses Irak1 gene transcription. Irak1, a serine/threonine protein kinase that activates Nfkb-mediated transcription, is upregulated in the cortex of Mecp2 null mice. Some of the Rett syndorome features, such as reduced dendritic complexity and decreased life span, can be ameliorated by attenuation of Nfkb signaling (Kishi et al. 2016).
