Abstract excerpt
As a cytosol ubiquitin ligase and antibody receptor, Tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) has been reported to mediate the restriction of hepatitis B virus (HBV) through an HBx-antibody-dependent intracellular neutralization (ADIN) mechanism. However, whether TRIM21 limits HBV replication by targeting viral proteins remains unclarified. In this study, we demonstrate that TRIM21 inhibits HBV gene transcription...
