Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core/pregenomic promoter is regulated by enhancer I (ENI) and enhancer II (ENII) which are located upstream of the initiation sites of core/pregenomic transcripts. In this study, we identified a negative regulatory element (NRE) (nt 1576 to 1639) upstream of ENII by serial deletion analysis; a 33 kDa cellular protein in HepG2 cells binds to this element. The NRE has a significant...
