HTLV-1 infection causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). The development or ATL. is thought to be associated with disruption of transcriptional control of cellular genes. HTLv-1 bask leucme-zipper (bZIP) factor, HBZ, is encoded by the complementary strand of the provirus. We previously reported that HBZ interacts with c-Jun and suppresses its transcriptional activity To identify the cellular factor(s) that Interact with HBZ, we conducted a yeast two-hybrid screen using full-length HBZ as ban and Identified Man). HBZ heterodimenzes with MafB via each bZIP domain Luciferase analysis revealed a significant decrease in transcription through Maf recognition element (MARE) in a manner dependent on the bZIP domain or HBZ. Indeed, production or full-length HBZ in cells decreased the MARE-hound MafB protein, indicating that HBZ abrogates the DNA-binding activity of MafB In addition HBZ reduced the steady-state levels of MafB and the levels were restored by treatment with a proteasome inhibitor These results suggest a suppressive effect or HBZ on Malfunction, which may have a significant role in HTLV-1 ratted pathogenesis J.
