Silencing of human T-cell leukemia virus type I gene transcription by epigenetic mechanisms

BACKGROUND: Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) after a long latent period. Among accessory genes encoded by HTLV-I, the tax gene is thought to play a central role in oncogenesis. However, Tax expression is disrupted by several mechanims including genetic c...
