A short HBV RNA region induces RNR-R2 expression in non-cycling cells and in primary human hepatocytes
2018-10-31
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus infects non-dividing cells in which dNTPs are scarce. HBV replication requires dNTPs. To cope with this constraint the virus induces the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway culminating in RNR-R2 expression and the generation of an active RNR holoenzyme, the key regulator of dNTP levels. Previously we reported that the HBx open reading frame (ORF) triggers this pathway. Unexpectedly however, we repo...
