Abstract excerpt
The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-1-associated myelopathy. The HTLV-1 Tax1 gene product has been shown to transactivate transcription of viral and cellular promoters. To examine the biochemical mechanism of Tax1 transactivation, we have developed an in vitro transactivation assay in which wild-type Tax1 is...
