Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus infection is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, claiming 1 million lives annually worldwide. To understand the carcinogenic mechanism of hepatitis B virus-encoded oncoprotein HBx, we explored the function of HBx interaction with its cellular target HBXIP. Previously, we demonstrated that viral HBx and cellular HBXIP control mitotic spindle formation, regulating centrosome splitting. By...
