Upregulation of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Antisense Transcription by the Viral Tax Protein
(East Carolina University, 2009-02)
Several studies have recently demonstrated the existence of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) antisense transcripts, which allow the synthesis of the newly described HBZ protein. Although previous reports have ...
JunD/HBZ enhances HBZ enhances HTLV-1 antisense transcription
(2011)
Infection with the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) results in a variety of diseases including adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), a fatal malignancy characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of virally infected ...
Inhibition of histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity by HBZ extends beyond the p300/CBP HAT family
(2014)
We previously reported that HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor (HBZ) interacts with the cellular coactivator p300 in cells derived from ATL patients. We further determined that HBZ directly binds to the histone acetyltransferase ...
The HTLV-1-encoded protein HBZ directly inhibits the acetyl transferase activity of p300/CBP
(2012-07)
The homologous cellular coactivators p300 and CBP contain intrinsic lysine acetyl transferase (termed HAT) activity. This activity is responsible for acetylation of several sites on the histones as well as modification of ...
Direct Inhibition of RNAse T2 Expression by the HTLV-1 Viral Protein Tax
(2011-08)
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is one of the primary diseases caused by Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. The virally-encoded Tax protein is believed to initiate early events in the development of this ...
Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) bZIP Protein Interacts with the Cellular Transcription Factor CREB To Inhibit HTLV-1 Transcription
(East Carolina University, 2007-02)
The complex human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) retrovirus encodes several proteins that are unique to the virus within its 3 -end region. Among them, the viral transactivator Tax and posttranscriptional regulator ...
