Within the human T-cell leukemia virus type I promoter, there are three copies of a 21-base-pair repeat (hereafter called the tax-responsive element [TRE]) that both contributes to basal promoter activity and mediates induction by the viral activator TAX. We have identified and separated three nuclear proteins that interact with the TRE. The TRE-binding protein designated TREB-3 bound more avidly to a multimerized TRE than to a single-copy TRE, while the other two TRE-binding proteins, TREB-1 and TREB-2, bound equally well to either TRE. TREB-1 has been purified to near homogeneity, and binding activity was localized to a protein of 35 to 43 kilodaltons. The affinity-purified TREB-1 activated transcription from the human T-cell leukemia virus type I promoter in vitro. The purified TREB-1 fraction contained activating transcription factor binding activity and showed a cooperative interaction with the TATA-binding factor (TFIID) on the adenovirus E4 promoter.

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).
