Tripartite motif‐containing 22 inhibits the activity of hepatitis B virus core promoter, which is dependent on nuclear‐located RING domain†
6 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family are a part of the innate immune system to counter intracellular pathogens. TRIM22 has been reported to possess antiretroviral activity. Here we report that TRIM22 is involved in antiviral immunity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Our results showed that TRIM22, being a strongly induced gene by interferons in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, could inhibit HBV...
