BRCA1 PARTICIPATES IN IKK complex, which CONNECTED TO NIK

“The IkB kinases (IKKs) lie downstream of the NF-kBinducing kinase (NIK) and activate NF-kB by phosphorylation of IkBa.”— Differential I k B Kinase Activation and I k B a Degradation by Interleukin-1 b and Tumor Necrosis Factor-a in Human U 937 Monocytic Cells (1999)
“TRAIL‐induced NF‐kB activation was preceded by IkBα kinase (IKK) activation and IkBα degradation and depended on TRAF2, NF‐kB‐inducing kinase (NIK), IKK1, and IKK2.”— TRAIL‐mediated apoptosis requires NF‐kB inhibition and the mitochondrial permeability transition in human hepatoma cells (2002)DOI

Why This Is Novel
No published papers mention both BRCA1 and NIK together. This connection is entirely inferred through IKK complex — a genuinely unexplored hypothesis.
