Abstract excerpt
TRIM5γ, together with TRIM31, has been shown to promote HBx ubiquitination and degradation. This study aimed to explore whether a patient with HCC (hepatic cell carcinoma) having a small nucleotide inserted into the TRIM31 gene, which made a shorter transcript stop at 768 bp, would result in blocking the activity of TRIM31 in promoting HBx degradation. Besides, this study aimed to determine the binding region of...
