Definition
English
:
DNA
sequences that form the coding region for at least three
proteins
which regulate the expression of
HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS 1
and
HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS 2
. The
proteins
are p21(x), p27(rex), and p40(tax). The tax (trans-activator x) and rex (regulator x)
genes
are part of pX but are in overlapping
reading frames
. X was the original designation for the sequences or region (at that
time
of unknown function) in the long open
reading
frame (lor) which is now called pX.
