ADAR1 enhances HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 replication through inhibition of PKR activity [PDF]
The role of innate immunity in general and of type I interferon (IFN-I) in particular in HTLV-1 pathogenesis is still a matter of debate. ADAR1-p150 is an Interferon Stimulated Gene (ISG) induced by IFN-I that can edit viral RNAs. We therefore investigated whether it could play the role of an anti-HTLV factor.We demonstrate here that ADAR1 is also ...

The MHC-II transactivator CIITA, a restriction factor against oncogenic HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 retroviruses: similarities and differences in the inhibition of Tax-1 and Tax-2 viral transactivators [PDF]
The activation of CD4(+) T helper cells is strictly dependent on the presentation of antigenic peptides by MHC class II (MHC-II) molecules. MHC-II expression is primarily regulated at the transcriptional level by the AIR-1 gene product CIITA (class II ...

Functional comparison of antisense proteins of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 in viral pathogenesis [PDF]
The production of antisense transcripts from the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) in human T-lymphotropic retroviruses has now been clearly demonstrated. After the identification of the antisense strand-encoded human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) bZIP (HBZ) factor, we reported that HBZ could interact with CRE-binding protein (CREB) transcription ...

Trends in the prevalence and distribution of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infections in Spain
Background Although most HTLV infections in Spain have been found in native intravenous drug users carrying HTLV-2, the large immigration flows from Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa in recent years may have changed the prevalence and distribution of ...

Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis is Associated With Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) Infection and Disease Progression to HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
We provide the first comprehensive analysis of changes in the gut bacteriome at different clinical stages of HTLV‐1 infection. HTLV‐1 infection is associated with a dysbiosis that includes reduced bacterial diversity and an inverted Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.

Biochemical Characterization, Specificity and Inhibition Studies of HTLV-1, HTLV-2, and HTLV-3 Proteases. [PDF]
The human T-lymphotropic viruses (HTLVs) are causative agents of severe diseases including adult T-cell leukemia. Similar to human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs), the viral protease (PR) plays a crucial role in the viral life-cycle via the processing of

HTLV-2 Encoded Antisense Protein APH-2 Suppresses HIV-1 Replication. [PDF]
Antisense protein of Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 2 (HTLV-2), also called APH-2, negatively regulates the HTLV-2 and helps the virus to maintain latency via scheming the transcription. Despite the remarkable occurrence of HTLV-2/HIV-1 co-infection, the role of APH-2 influencing HIV-1 replication kinetics is poorly understood and needs investigation.
