Abstract
The pX gene of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) encodes a protein that activates the expression of viral genes in trans. Plasmid constructs designed to express the pX gene under the control of either the temperature-inducible lambda PL promoter or the trp promoter were used to transform several Escherichia coli strains, including murein-lipoprotein and Ion mutant strains. Upon induction it was possible to detect the synthesis of a new polypeptide of approximately 40 kDa which reacted specifically with serum from an ATL patient.
