HTLV-1 is associated with lifelong infection and immune suppression, resulting in a range of serious sequalae, including adult T-cell leukaemia or lymphoma (ATLL) in 5% of cases. #HTLVaware

In this review, Shirasawa et al. summarize #TranscriptionalActivation mechanisms and target #genes of #Tax, especially focusing on #transformation, to facilitate understanding of the underlying mechanisms of #leukemogenesis induced by #HTLV-1 infection. mdpi.com/3544110
The mechanisms of activation of the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB pathways by Tax. (A) Tax activates IKK complex through association with IKKγ (NEMO) and TAK1. Tax also binds to RNF8 and LUBAC, generating polyubiquitin chains to facilitate association between TAK1 and IKK. Activated IKK complex phosphorylates IκB targeting it for proteasome-mediated degradation, thereby releasing NF-κB. Tax associates with IκB and releases NF-κB. Tax also associates with RelA and c-Rel to enhance transcription. (B) Tax associates with and activates IKKα to phosphorylate p100, triggering limited proteolysis and generating p52. Tax also associates with and activates NIK to activate IKKα.
