Abstract excerpt
The protein encoded by the hepatitis B viral X-gene, HBx, is essential for viral infection and has been shown to regulate gene transcription and the Ras signaling pathway including Raf, MEK, and ERK. To better understand regulatory mechanism of HBx functions, we investigated whether ERK1/2-induced phosphorylation of HBx regulates its transcriptional activity on p21(WAF1/Cip1) promoter. HBx-genotype A (WT1) and...
