Human T-cell leukemic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-infected T cells
express the fucosyltransferase (Fuc-T) VII
gene involved in the biosynthesis of the leukocyte sialyl Lewis
X, which may be related to tissue infiltration in patients with
malignant adult T-cell leukemia. HTLV-1 induces Fuc-T VII
transcription through the viral transactivator Tax, although the
underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. In the present study,
we analyzed the role of the cis-activating element in Tax
activation using reporter constructs bearing the 5'-regulatory region
of Fuc-T VII in Jurkat T cells. A sequence
(GGCTGTGGGGGCGTCATATTGCCCTGG) covering a half-palindromic cyclic
adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-responsive element (CRE) was found to
be required for Tax activation of the Fuc-T VII promoter. We further demonstrated that transcription factors of the CRE-binding protein (CREB)/activating transcription factor (ATF) family bind to
this CRE-like sequence and that Tax binds in association with CREB and
the coactivator CREB-binding protein (CBP) in Jurkat T cells. This
element, containing the G+C-rich flanking sequences, is homologous to
the Tax-responsive viral CREs in the HTLV-1 long terminal repeat
(LTR)-promoter. Furthermore, CREM , an isoform of CREB deficient
in the glutamine-rich domains, was found to activate the Fuc-T
VII promoter in a phosphorylation-independent manner, similar to
the viral CRE in HTLV-1 LTR but in contrast to the
phosphorylation-dependent activation of the cellular CREs by Tax. These
findings indicate that the Fuc-T VII promoter is transactivated by Tax in concert with CBP through a CRE-like sequence in a manner similar to that of viral CRE in HTLV-1 LTR.
