The B cell antigen receptor (BCR)–mediated activation of IκB kinase (IKK) and nuclear factor–κB require protein kinase C (PKC)β; however, the mechanism by which PKCβ regulates IKK is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that another protein kinase, TGFβ-activated kinase (TAK)1, is essential for IKK activation in response to BCR stimulation. TAK1 interacts with the phosphorylated CARMA1 (also known as caspase recruitment domain [CARD]11, Bimp3) and this interaction is mediated by PKCβ. IKK is also recruited to the CARMA1–Bcl10–mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue 1 adaptor complex in a PKCβ-dependent manner. Hence, our data suggest that phosphorylation of CARMA1, mediated by PKCβ, brings two key protein kinases, TAK1 and IKK, into close proximity, thereby allowing TAK1 to phosphorylate IKK.
