Transcriptional Regulation of the TFIIH Transcription Repair Components XPB and XPD by the Hepatitis B Virus x Protein in Liver Cells and Transgenic Liver Tissue
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human hepatitis B virus is a risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The hepatitis B virus x protein (HBx) has been shown to inactivate the p53 tumor suppressor protein and impair DNA repair, cell cycle, and apoptosis mechanisms. Herein we report that HBx represses two components of the transcription-repair factor TFIIH, XPB (p89), and XPD (p80), both in p53-proficient and p53-deficient liver...
