The arginine-rich domain of hepatitis B virus precore and core proteins contains a signal for nuclear transport
1 Dec 1990
Abstract excerpt
Precore and core proteins are two related co-carboxy-terminal proteins of hepatitis B virus. Precore protein contains the entire sequence of core protein plus an amino-terminal extension of 29 amino acid residues. Both proteins can display a common antigenic determinant known as core antigen (HBcAg). Clinically, HBcAg is detected in the nucleus, cytoplasm, or both of hepatitis B virus-infected hepatocytes.
