Impact of HTLV-I Tax on cell cycle progression and the cellular DNA damage repair response
Abstract
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), a rapidly progressing, clonal malignancy of CD4+ T lymphocytes. Fewer than one in 20 infected individuals typically develop ATL and the onset of this cancer occurs after decades of relatively symptom-free infection. Leukemic cells from ATL patients display extensive and varied forms of chromosomal abnormalities and this genomic instability is thought to be a major contributor to the development of ATL. HTLV-I encodes a regulatory protein, Tax, which is necessary and sufficient to transform cells and is therefore considered to be the viral oncoprotein. Tax interacts with numerous cellular proteins to reprogram cellular processes including, but not limited to, transcription, cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and apoptosis. This review presents an overview of the impact of HTLV-I infection in general, and Tax expression in particular, on cell cycle progression and the repair of DNA damage. The contribution of these activities to genome instability and cellular transformation will be discussed.
