Nuclear factor B (NF- B) activation plays a critical role in oncogenesis by human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type I (HTLV-I), the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), and is indispensable for maintenance of the malignant phenotype. In T lymphocytes, Tax-mediated p53 inhibition is dependent on Tax activation of the NF- B pathway and is linked to p53 phosphorylation. We now report that blocking NF- B transcriptional activation in HTLV-Itransformed cells restores p53 activity. Further, using mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF) null cells and antisense oligonucleotides to inhibit expression of NF- B family members, we demonstrate that the p65 subunit of NF- B is uniquely involved in p53 inhibition. Coimmunoprecipitation assays demonstrate an interaction between p65 and p53 in HTLV-Itransformed cells. In transient transfection assays, we demonstrate that Tax induces the p53-p65 interaction. Phosphorylation of p53 at serines 15 and 392 is critical for complex formation. Importantly, Tax-mediated p53 inhibition correlates with p65 and p53 interaction. By using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, we find that in HTLV-Itransformed cells p53 and p65 form a complex on the inactive, p53-responsive murine double minute 2 (MDM2) promoter. Consistent with reduced transcriptional activity, transcription factor IID (TFIID) binding is not observed. These studies identify a unique mechanism for p53 regulation by the p65/RelA subunit of NF- B.
