HIRA Supports Hepatitis B Virus Minichromosome Establishment and Transcriptional Activity in Infected Hepatocytes
1 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Background & AimsUpon hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, partially double-stranded viral DNA converts into a covalently closed circular chromatinized episomal structure (cccDNA). This form represents the long-lived genomic reservoir responsible for viral persistence in the infected liver. Although the involvement of host cell DNA damage response in cccDNA formation has been established, this work investigated the...
