Translational regulation of hepatitis B virus polymerase gene by termination-reinitiation of an upstream minicistron in a length-dependent manner.

The Journal of general virology - 1 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase (P) gene is translated from the bicistronic pregenomic RNA with the core (C) gene in the first cistron. The P ORF is preceded by the C AUG and three AUG codons within the C region, where a minicistron of 7 amino acids can potentially be translated. Our results i...
