Identification of a binding protein to the X gene promoter region of hepatitis B virus.

Virology - 1 Dec 1992

Nakamura I, Koike K

Abstract excerpt

The X protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a transactivator to homologous and heterologous viral and cellular transcriptional regulatory elements. One sequence-specific binding protein, whose binding site located from nt 1102 to nt 1117 of HBV DNA, was identified by mobility shift assay and DNas...
