Differential regulation of the pre-C and pregenomic promoters of human hepatitis B virus by members of the nuclear receptor superfamily
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of the pre-C and pregenomic RNAs of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) is directed by two overlapping yet separate promoters (X. Yu and J. E. Mertz, J. Virol. 70:8719-8726, 1996). Previously, we reported the identification of a binding site for the nuclear receptor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) spanning the TATA box-like sequence of the pre-C promoter. This HNF4-binding site consists of an imperfect...
