Abstract excerpt
The oncogenic potential of HTLV-1 Tax protein is partially ascribed to its capacity to activate NF-kappaB. The current view is that Tax acts first in the cytoplasm to dissociate NF-kappaB factors from the IkappaB proteins and enable their nuclear translocation, then Tax links p65(RelA), within the nucleus, to CBP/p300 and P/CAF, which are essential for its optimal transcriptional activity. Our present study...
