Replication of the Wild Type and a Natural Hepatitis B Virus Nucleocapsid Promoter Variant Is Differentially Regulated by Nuclear Hormone Receptors in Cell Culture
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
A natural hepatitis B virus (HBV) variant associated with seroconversion from HBeAg to anti-HBe antibody contains two nucleotide substitutions (A1764T and G1766A) in the proximal nuclear hormone receptor binding site in the nucleocapsid promoter. These nucleotide substitutions prevent the binding of the retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha)-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) heterodimer...
