NF-kappa B plays a key role in innate and acquired immunity. Its activity is regulated through intricate signaling networks. Persistent or excessive activation of NF-kappa B induces diseases, such as autoimmune disorders and malignant neoplasms. Infection by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes a fatal hematopoietic malignancy termed adult T cell leukemia (ATL). The HTLV-1 viral oncoprotein Tax functions pivotally in leukemogenesis through its potent activation of NF-kappa B. Recent findings suggest that protein ubiquitination is crucial for proper regulation of NF-kappa B signaling and for Tax activity. Here, we report that ubiquitin-specific peptidase USP20 deubiquitinates TRAF6 and Tax and suppresses interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta)- and Tax-induced NF-kappa B activation. Our results point to USP20 as a key negative regulator of Tax-induced NF-kappa B signaling.
