Transcription factor Ets2 coalesce with the NF-{kappa}B pathway to regulate gene expression in specific signaling contexts. IKK2/{beta}-mediated phosphorylation events critically regulate the NF-{kappa}B pathway. However, any link between Ets2 and IKK2 remains elusive. Here we report Ets2 as a direct substrate of IKK2. In-vitro kinase assays using deletion constructs, high resolution MS-MS and site directed mutagenesis identified S295 as a prominent phosphorylation site distal to the DNA binding domain, substitution of which to phosphor-mimetic Glutamate triggers further phosphorylation of Ets2. MD simulations clearly indicate conformational constriction of the otherwise disordered N-terminal region and inhibition of DNA binding activity upon phosphorylation, which was further confirmed by Electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Our results uncover a phosphoregulatory connection between Ets2 and IKK2.
