Abstract excerpt
The middle and small surface proteins of hepatitis B virus are translated from 5'-heterogeneous transcripts specified by the S promoter. We have generated a series of linker-substitution mutants that encompass the 130 base pairs comprising this promoter and measured the amount of transcripts and protein products synthesized from each mutant. The results confirm our previous finding that a CCAAT element is an...
