Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) Tax is a potent
transcriptional regulator that can activate or repress specific cellular genes and that has been proposed to contribute to
leukemogenesis in adult T-cell leukemia. Previously,
HTLV-I- infected T-cell clones were found to be resistant to growth
inhibition by transforming growth factor (TGF)- . Here it is shown
that Tax can perturb Smad-dependent TGF- signaling even though no
direct interaction of Tax and Smad proteins could be detected.
Importantly, a mutant Tax of CREB-binding protein (CBP)/p300 binding
site, could not repress the Smad transactivation function, suggesting
that the CBP/p300 binding domain of Tax is essential for the
suppression of Smad function. Because both Tax and Smad are known to
interact with CBP/p300 for the potentiation of their transcriptional
activities, the effect of CBP/p300 on suppression of Smad-mediated
transactivation by Tax was examined. Overexpression of CBP/p300
reversed Tax-mediated inhibition of Smad transactivation. Furthermore,
Smad could repress Tax transcriptional activation, indicating
reciprocal repression between Tax and Smad. These results suggest that
Tax interferes with the recruitment of CBP/p300 into transcription
initiation complexes on TGF- -responsive elements through its
binding to CBP/p300. The novel function of Tax as a repressor of
TGF- signaling may contribute to HTLV-I leukemogenesis.
