Human hepatitis virus X gene encodes a regulatory domain that represses transactivation of X protein.
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
The human hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene seems to be essential for establishment of viral infection, and the X gene product, HBx, transactivates virus and host genes through a wide variety of cis-elements, whereas regulation of HBx has not been fully understood. We found that transactivation-negative HBx mutants truncated at the C-terminal portion specifically repressed the HBx transactivation in trans. The...
