Abstract excerpt
A panel of mutants of the hepatitis B virus X gene (HBx) was constructed by oligonucleotide-directed insertion of two codons (Arg Pro) at 10- or 20-amino-acid intervals along the entire gene. These mutants were tested in transiently transfected HepG2 cells for their effects on HBx trans-activation of an AP1-CAT reporter plasmid. The effects of HBx mutations on the mRNA and protein stability were also determined....
