Regulation of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type I Latency and Reactivation by HBZ and Rex

English version České info

Most HTLV-1-infected individuals are asymptomatic. It is thought that the proviral DNA is transcriptionally inert and HTLV-1 replicates through mitotic expansion of host cells. The evolving provirus integration patterns in HTLV-1 carriers, however, suggest new infection occurs continuously. Whether or how HTLV-1 establishes latency and reactivates is unclear. We show that HTLV-1 infection in culture can lead to two alternative outcomes — productive infection accompanied by senescence or latent infection followed by clonal expansion — based on the relative expression of regulatory proteins: Tax, Rex, and HBZ. HTLV-1 latency is established by HBZ, and reactivation is achieved by Rex through regulating nuclear export of viral mRNAs. Elucidating mechanisms underlying HTLV-1 latency and reactivation can facilitate virus control to prevent progression to disease.
