Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I)(1, 2) is a causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL)(3) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP)(4, 5). In ATL cells, the sites of provirus integration were not common among patients, although they were clonal within individuals (3), so the viral transacting factor was implicated as a leukemogenic factor. Tax protein has been proposed as a candidate for this transacting factor (6), since Tax can immortalize human T cells (7), transform rodent fibroblastic cell lines (8), and induce tumors in its transgenic mice (9). Tax is also identified as a transacting activator of viral genome transcription (10-12) and thus is essential for viral replication. Tax also activates many specific cellular genes, including lymphokines (13-15), some of their receptors (13), and nuclear protooncogenes (16, 17), so some of these genes have been thought to contribute to T-cell immortalization or transformation.We reported previously that Tax activates three enhancers (Fig. 1), including the 21-base-pair (bp) sequence of HTLV (18, 19), the nuclear factor (NF)-KB-binding site of the interleukin (IL)-2 receptor α gene (20), and the serum-responsive element (SRE) of the c-fos and c-egr protooncogenes (21). The mechanism of the activation was shown to be the binding of Tax to transcription factors that bind to specific enhancers. These factors are the cAMP-responsive element binding (CREB)(22, 23) or modulator (CREM) protein (22) that binds to the 21-bp sequence; NF-KB family proteins including p50 (24), p52 (25), p65 (26), and c-Rel (26) for the NF-KB-binding site; and the serum-responsive factor for the SRE (21).
