    Description: The human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) types I and II have two nonstructural genes that are encoded in overlapping reading frames. One of these genes, known as tax, has been shown to encode a protein responsible for enhanced transcription (transactivation) from the viral long terminal repeats (LTRs). Genetic evidence indicates that the second nonstructural gene of HTLV-II, here designated rex, acts in trans to modulate tax gene-mediated transactivation in a concentration-dependent fashion. The rex gene may regulate the process of transactivation during the viral life cycle.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rosenblatt, J D -- Cann, A J -- Slamon, D J -- Smalberg, I S -- Shah, N P -- Fujii, J -- Wachsman, W -- Chen, I S -- 1 R01 CA 43370/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- 1K11 CA 01314/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 32737/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 May 13;240(4854):916-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2834826" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The human T-cell leukemia viruses, HTLV-I and HTLV-II, contain a gene, termed x, with transcriptional regulatory function. The properties of the x proteins were analyzed by constructing mutant genes containing site-directed deletions and point mutations. The results demonstrate that the amino terminal 17 amino acids of the x protein constitute part of a functional domain that is critical for the transcriptional activating properties of the protein. Within this region, substitution of a leucine residue for a proline residue results in major changes in the trans-activation phenotype of the protein. The mutant HTLV-II x protein, though incapable of activating the HTLV-II long terminal repeat, will block trans-activation of the HTLV-II long terminal repeat by the wild-type protein. The altered phenotype of this mutant suggests a potential negative regulatory function of the x protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wachsman, W -- Cann, A J -- Williams, J L -- Slamon, D J -- Souza, L -- Shah, N P -- Chen, I S -- CA 30388/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 32727/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 38597/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Feb 6;235(4789):674-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3027894" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
