Abstract excerpt
Hepadnaviruses encode two core-related open reading frames. One directs the synthesis of the p21 core protein, which subsequently becomes a structural component of the viral nucleocapsid. The other produces a p25 precore protein that is targeted by a signal peptide to a cell secretory pathway where N-terminal processing will create a p22 species. This molecule will be further modified at the C-terminal region to...
