Base Pairing between the 5′ Half of ε and a <i>cis</i> -Acting Sequence, Φ, Makes a Contribution to the Synthesis of Minus-Strand DNA for Human Hepatitis B Virus
12 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of minus-strand DNA of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be divided into three phases: initiation of DNA synthesis, the template switch, and elongation of minus-strand DNA. Although much is known about minus-strand DNA synthesis, the mechanism(s) by which this occurs has not been completely elucidated. Through a deletion analysis, we have identified a cis-acting element involved in minus-strand DNA...
