Pleiotropic effects of HTLV type 1 Tax protein on cellular metabolism: mitotic checkpoint abrogation and NF-kappaB
1Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology, National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA.
Abstract:
Tax protein expressed by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a strong trans-activator of its own LTR promoter; it also affects the function of multiple cellular genes involved in cell cycle control and transcription. One way in which Tax exerts its pleiotropic effects is through protein-protein interaction with cellular cofactors. By using yeast two-hybrid technology, we have isolated several cellular proteins that bind to Tax. Two of these are MAD1, a mitotic checkpoint control protein, and TXBP151, a suppressor of tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis. Here we discuss findings describing the role of MAD1 in exit of cells from mitosis and TXBP151 in NF-kappaB activation.

When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
