Abstract excerpt
The Tax protein encoded by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) induces constitutive nuclear expression of the transcription factor NF-kappaB, causing aberrant expression of a large array of cellular genes. Tax activates NF-kappaB by stimulating the activity of the I-kappaB kinase (IKK), which in turn leads to phosphorylation and degradation of the NF-kappaB inhibitor I-kappaBalpha. In normal T cells, IKK...
