    HTLV-II transactivation is regulated by the overlapping tax/rex nonstructural genes (1988)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-05-13
    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〉

    U3 sequences from HTLV-I and -II LTRs confer pX protein response to a murine leukemia virus LTR (1987)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-02-20
    Description: Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) types I and II are unusual among replication-competent retroviruses in that they contain a fourth gene (chi) necessary for replication. The chi gene product, p chi, transcriptionally transactivates the viral long repeat (LTR), and is thus a positive regulator. To investigate p chi transactivation, sequences from the U3 regions of the LTRs of HTLV-I and -II were inserted into the Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) LTR by recombinant DNA techniques. Transient expression assays of the chimeric LTRs indicated that the HTLV sequences conferred to the M-MuLV LTR responsiveness to HTLV p chi protein. M-MuLV enhancers were not required for function of the chimeric LTRs. Infectious recombinant M-MuLVs containing chimeric LTRs were also generated. These viruses showed higher infectivity when assayed in mouse cells expressing HTLV-II p chi protein compared to normal mouse cells. Thus the HTLV sequences were able to confer p chi responsiveness to infectious M-MuLV. The generation of a virus dependent on a transactivating protein for its replication has implications for the evolution of the human T-cell leukemia viruses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kitado, H -- Chen, I S -- Shah, N P -- Cann, A J -- Shimotohno, K -- Fan, H -- CA32454/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA32455/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA38597/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Feb 20;235(4791):901-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3027896" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    HTLV x gene mutants exhibit novel transcriptional regulatory phenotypes (1987)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-02-06
    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〉

    Functional relation between HTLV-II x and adenovirus E1A proteins in transcriptional activation (1985)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1985-11-01
    Description: The mechanism of cellular transformation by the human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV) is thought to involve a novel gene known as the x gene. This gene is essential for HTLV replication and acts by enhancing transcription from the HTLV long terminal repeat. The HTLV x gene product may also cause aberrant transcription of normal cellular genes, resulting in transformation of the infected cells. Although there is no evidence as yet for such a mechanism, it was shown that the HTLV-II x gene product can activate transcription from adenovirus E1A-dependent early promoters and therefore has the potential to activate cellular genes. It was also shown that the adenovirus and herpes pseudorabies immediate early proteins activate expression from the HTLV-I and HTLV-II long terminal repeats, though at lower levels than with the x gene product. These findings indicate possible common mechanisms of action for transcription-regulatory genes of distinct viruses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, I S -- Cann, A J -- Shah, N P -- Gaynor, R B -- CA 16042/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 32737/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 38597/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Nov 1;230(4725):570-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2996140" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The x gene is essential for HTLV replication (1985)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1985-07-05
    Description: The human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLV) are associated with T-cell malignancies in man and will transform normal human T cells in vitro. The mechanism of malignant transformation by HTLV is unknown but appears to be distinct from that of other classes of retroviruses, which induce malignant transformation through viral or cellular oncogenes. Recently a new gene, termed x, was identified in HTLV. This gene has been hypothesized to be the transforming gene of HTLV because of its conservation within the HTLV class of retroviruses. By in vitro mutagenesis of the HTLV-II x gene, it is now demonstrated that the presence of a functional x gene product is necessary for efficient HTLV transcription. Therefore, these studies provide direct evidence for an important function of the x gene in HTLV replication. The functional analogies between the x gene and transcriptional regulatory genes of some DNA viruses suggest that these viruses share similar mechanisms for cellular transformation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, I S -- Slamon, D J -- Rosenblatt, J D -- Shah, N P -- Quan, S G -- Wachsman, W -- CA 09297/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 32737/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 38597/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Jul 5;229(4708):54-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2990037" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
