Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor NF-kappaB is critical for the induction of cancer, including adult T-cell leukemia, which is linked to infection by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 and the expression of its regulatory protein Tax. Although activation of the NF-kappaB pathway by Tax involves its interaction with the regulatory subunit of the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex, NEMO/IKKgamma, the mechanism by which Tax...
