Stabilization of SIRT7 deacetylase by viral oncoprotein HBx leads to inhibition of growth restrictive RPS7 gene and facilitates cellular transformation
7 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
Sirtuin-7 (SIRT7) deacetylase exhibits a high selectivity for acetylated H3K18 and has been implicated in the maintenance of malignant phenotype. However, it remains unclear if SIRT7 and H3K18ac play a role in the tumorigenic program driven by oncogenic viruses. We show that ectopically expressed HBx oncoprotein of hepatitis B virus promoted intracellular stability of SIRT7 by salvaging it from ubiquitin-mediated...
