Abstract excerpt
The X gene product of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transactivates a wide variety of promoters, including four promoters on the HBV genome (Rossner, 1992, J. Med. Virol. 36, 101-117). We compared their transactivation efficiencies and investigated whether the spatial organization of the promoters with respect to other cis-acting elements might influence their activities. Eight reporter plasmid constructs containing the...
