HTLV-1 Tax Stimulates Ubiquitin E3 Ligase, Ring Finger Protein 8, to Assemble Lysine 63-Linked Polyubiquitin Chains for TAK1 and IKK Activation

English version České info

Activation of the NF-κB family of transcription factors by the HTLV-1 oncoprotein, Tax, is causally linked to adult T cell leukemia (ATL) development in HTLV-1-infected individuals, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. NF-κB activation requires the phosphorylation of its inhibitor, IκBα, by IκB kinase (IKK), which marks IκBα for degradation. In this study, we demonstrate that Tax inappropriately activates a ubiquitin E3 ligase, RNF8, and ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzymes, Ubc13:Uev1A/Uev2, to assemble long lysine 63-linked polyubiquitin (K63-pUb) chains, which function as signaling platforms for polyubiquitin-binding TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) and IKK to congregate and become activated. Because TAK1 mediates the activation of multiple downstream signaling pathways, the mechanism described here can explain the complex effect of Tax on cell signaling. The major functions of RNF8 are to signal cellular DNA damage repair (DDR) and cell division by assembling K63-pUb chains at the site of DNA damage and cell cleavage. As such, the inappropriate activation of RNF8 and the over-abundance of K63-pUb chains in Tax-expressing cells may explain how Tax causes DNA damage and cell division defect.
