Abstract excerpt
The Tax protein of human T cell leukemia virus type 1 is a viral transactivator and transforming protein. Tax is known to suppress cellular nucleotide excision repair (NER), and this activity has been proposed to play an important role in Tax transformation. In this study we have investigated the mechanism by which Tax suppresses NER with specific focus on the previously characterized ability of Tax to inhibit...
