Differential role of PKC-induced c-Jun in HTLV-1 LTR activation by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in different human T-cell lines.

We have previously shown that TPA activates HTLV-1 LTR in Jurkat T-cells by inducing the binding of Sp1-p53 complex to the Sp1 site residing within the Ets responsive region 1 (ERR-1) of the LTR and that this activation is inhibited by PKCalpha and PKCepsilon. However, in H9 T-cells TPA has been not...
