title: [Interaction between HTLV-1 transcription activator tax and Taxreb107].
abstract: Tax is a transcription activator encoded by human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-1. Ribosomal protein L6 was also defined as Taxreb107 (Tax responsible element binding protein 107) for its activity of binding to the long terminal repeats of HTLV-1. To investigate the relationship between Tax and Taxreb107/RpL6, yeast two hybrid and GST pull-down assays were used. Results suggest that Tax can interact with Taxreb107/RpL6 directly and Taxreb107/RpL6 may regulate the function of Tax in HTLV-1 proliferation.
