| Enzyme Function | FUNCTION: Transcriptional activator that activates both the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) and cellular promoters via activation of CREB, NF-kappa-B, SRF and AP-1 pathways. Binds to three 21 bp repeat elements located within the LTRs, referred to as Tax-responsive elements (TRE). Binding to TRE requires the interaction with CREB1 and CREBBP. Induces T-cell transformation, although much less efficiently than HTLV-1. Required for viral replication (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |

| Post Translational Modification | PTM: Phosphorylation at Thr-48 results in the loss of NF-kappa-B activation function. Phosphorylation at Thr-215 results in loss of CREB and NF-B responsive promoters activation. Phosphorylation at Thr-184 has no effect on these Tax functions. Phosphorylation of either Ser-300 or Ser-301 is necessary for localization to nuclear bodies. Thr-48, Thr-184 and Thr-215 are highly phosphorylated, whereas Ser-300 or Ser-301 are only rarely phosphorylated (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
