The bovine leukemia virus (BLV) p34tax (also called tat, p34, XLOR gene product) is a 34-kDa polypeptide encoded in the 3'-terminal region of the virus. This protein is responsible for positive transcriptional trans-activation of promoter elements located within the BLV long-terminal repeat. We introduced the protein-coding region of BLV p34tax into the genome of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus. After infection of the insect Spodoptera frugiperda (SF9) cell line, this recombinant strain of baculovirus produced approximately 100 to 150 mg of p34tax per 2 X 10(9) cells. This protein, when introduced into mammalian fibroblasts by using a cell-to-cell fusion technique, functionally trans-activated the BLV long-terminal repeat. Analysis of 32P-labeled proteins of SF9 cells expressing BLV tax by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicated that the BLV p34tax was phosphorylated.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
