The RNA genome of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) codes for proteins involved in infectivity, replication, and transformation. We report this study characterization a novel viral protein encoded by complementary strand HTLV-1 genome. This protein, designated HBZ (for bZIP factor), contains N-terminal transcriptional activation domain leucine zipper motif its C terminus. show here that is able to interact with transcription factor CREB-2 (also called ATF-4), known activate...
The human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I)-encoded Tax protein activates transcription from the viral promoter via association with cellular basic leucine zipper factor cAMP-response element-binding protein-2. is also able to induce transformation of T lymphocytes probably by modulating transcriptional activity factors, including nuclear factor-κB, E2F, activator protein-1 (AP-1), and p53. Recently, we characterized in HTLV-I-infected cells presence a novel protein, HBZ, encoded...
Background The replicative cycle of chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an alphavirus that recently re-emerged in India and Indian Ocean area, remains mostly unknown. aim the present study was to investigate intracellular trafficking pathway(s) hijacked by CHIKV enter mammalian cells. Methodology/Principal Findings Entry pathways were investigated using a variety pharmacological inhibitors or overexpression dominant negative forms proteins perturbating cellular endocytosis. We found infection HEK293T...

The etiological agent of COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2, is primarily a pulmonary-tropic coronavirus. Infection alveolar pneumocytes by SARS-CoV-2 requires virus binding to the angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) monocarboxypeptidase. ACE2, present on surface many cell types, known be regulator blood pressure homeostasis through its ability catalyze proteolysis Angiotensin II (Ang II) into Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)]. We therefore hypothesized that could trigger variations ACE2 expression and...

Human T‐cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV‐I) bZIP factor (HBZ) is a viral basic leucine zipper protein that was originally described as partner of cAMP response element binding protein‐2 and repressor HTLV‐I transcription. In addition, HBZ able to interact with the activator protein‐1 (AP‐1) transcription factors c‐Jun JunB, interaction leading transcriptional repression AP‐1‐regulated genes. Here we show also interacts JunD in vitro vivo, this association occurs via domain two proteins....
