Conserved yet Divergent Smc5/6 Complex Degradation by Mammalian Hepatitis B Virus X Protein
2024-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV), belonging to the genus Orthohepadnavirus , can cause chronic hepatitis and hepatocarcinoma in humans. HBV ensures optimal replication by encoding X, a multifunctional protein responsible for degrading the structural maintenance of the chromosome (Smc) 5/6 complex, an anti-HBV factor in hepatocytes. Previous studies suggest that the degradation activity of the Smc5/6 complex is conserved a...
