Abstract excerpt
The tax gene product of human T-cell leukemia virus type I induces activation of transcription factor NF-kappaB, which contributes to deregulated expression of various cellular genes. Tax expression triggers persistent phosphorylation and degradation of the NF-kappaB inhibitory proteins IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta, resulting in constitutive nuclear expression of NF-kappaB. Recent studies demonstrate that Tax...
