We have recently observed that CD28 engagement initiates a signaling pathway leading to the activation of I{kappa}B kinase (IKK) complex and, consequently, to NF-{kappa}B activation, and we identified Vav-1 as an important mediator of this function. Here we report for the first time that Vav-1 constitutively associates with IKK{alpha} in both Jurkat and primary CD4+ T cells. Vav-1/IKK{alpha} association is mediated by their helix-loop-helix domains, does not involve IKK{beta}, and is functionally relevant in that Vav-1-associated IKK{alpha} kinase activity is increased following CD28 engagement by B7. Moreover, we demonstrate that CD28-induced NF-{kappa}B activation is augmented by both IKK{alpha} and Vav-1, but not IKK{beta}. Confocal microscopy showed that endogenous Vav-1 and IKK{alpha}, but not IKK{beta}, were recruited to the membrane and colocalized in response to CD28 stimulation. Taken together, these data evidence that Vav-1 plays a key role in the control of NF-{kappa}B pathway by targeting IKK{alpha} in the T cell membrane and favoring its activation in response to CD28 stimulation.
