The viral oncoprotein Tax induces the invasion marker Fascin by at least three signals.
Tax activates the Fascin promoter phF1.6 dependent on NF-魏B and on a Tax-responsive region.
Tax induces Fascin by a promoter-independent step sensitive to the Src family kinase inhibitor PP2.
The invasion marker Fascin is a novel target of PP2, an inhibitor of metastasis.
