hTid-1, a human DnaJ protein, is a novel cellular target for HTLV-1 Tax. Here, we show that hTid-1 represses NF-kappaB activity induced by Tax as well as other activators such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and Bcl10. hTid-1 specifically suppresses serine phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha by activated IkappaB kinase beta (IKKbeta), but the activities of other serine kinases including p38, ERK2, and JNK1 are not affected. The suppressive activity of hTid-1 on IKKbeta requires a functional J domain that mediates association with heat shock proteins and results in prolonging the half-life of the NF-kappaB inhibitors IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta. Collectively, our data suggest that hTid-1, in association with heat shock proteins, exerts a negative regulatory effect on the NF-kappaB activity induced by various extracellular and intracellular activators including HTLV-1 Tax.

hTid-1, a human homolog of the Drosophila tumor suppressor l(2)Tid and a novel DnaJ protein, regulates the activity of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB), but its mechanism is not established. We report here that hTid-1 strongly associated with the cytoplasmic protein complex of NF-kappaB-IkappaB through direct interaction with IkappaBalpha/beta and the IKKalpha/beta subunits of the IkappaB kinase complex. These interactions resulted in suppression of the IKK activity in a J-domain-dependent fashion and led to the cytoplasmic retention and enhanced stability of IkappaB. Overexpression of hTid-1 by using recombinant baculovirus or adenovirus led to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cells regardless of the p53 expression status. Adherent cultured cells transduced with Ad.hTid-1 detached from the dish surface. Morphological changes consistent with apoptosis and cell death were evident 48 h after Ad.EGFP-hTid-1 transduction. In contrast, cells transduced with Ad.EGFP or Ad.EGFP-hTd-1DeltaN100, a mutant that has the N-terminal J domain deletion and that lost suppressive activity on IKK, continued to proliferate. Similar data were obtained with A375 human melanoma cells. Ad.EGFP or Ad.EGFP-hTd-1DeltaN100 ex vivo-transduced A375 cells injected subcutaneously into nude mice produced growing tumors, whereas Ad.EGFP-hTid-1-transduced cells did not. Collectively, the data suggest that hTid-1 represses the activity of NF-kappaB through physical and functional interactions with the IKK complex and IkappaB and, in doing so, it modulates cell growth and death.
