Novel poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 binding motif in hepatitis B virus core promoter impairs DNA damage repair
1 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: It is well-established that hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but patients with high viral DNA load have significantly higher risk. As host factors are required for efficient viral replication and may, therefore, contribute to high viral DNA load, we screened for host factors that can transcriptionally activate the HBV core promoter...
