Identification of multiple transcription factors, HLF, FTF, and E4BP4, controlling hepatitis B virus enhancer II.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) enhancer II (EnII) is a hepatotropic cis element which is responsible for the hepatocyte-specific gene expression of HBV. Multiple transcription factors have been demonstrated to interact with this region. In this study, the region from HBV nucleotides (nt) 1640 to 1663 in EnII was demonstrated to be essential for enhancer activity and to be another target sequence of pu...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of Multiple TRIM Proteins That Inhibit Hepatitis B Virus Transcription
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins constitute a family of over 100 members that share conserved tripartite motifs and exhibit diverse biological functions. Several TRIM proteins have been shown to restrict viral infections and regulate host cellular innate immune responses. In order to identify TRIM proteins that modulate the infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV), we tested 38 human TRIMs for thei...
متن کاملPhyllanthus amarus suppresses hepatitis B virus by interrupting interactions between HBV enhancer I and cellular transcription factors.
The Phyllanthus amarus plant suppresses HBV mRNA transcription in vitro and exhibits therapeutic potential in chronic HBV carriers, although further work is necessary to define its mechanism of action. Analysis in HuH-7 cells with transfected plasmids using a luciferase reporter showed that P. amarus specifically inhibited HBV enhancer I activity. To identify the mechanism of this HBV enhancer ...
متن کاملLymphopoiesis: Transcription factors controlling B-cell development
Two structurally dissimilar transcriptional regulators, E2A and Pax-5, have been shown to play essential roles in B-cell development; the p50 subunit of NF kappa B, by contrast, is required for normal immune responses.
متن کاملFunctional analysis of ground squirrel hepatitis virus enhancer II.
We have characterized a major regulatory element of ground squirrel hepatitis virus (GSHV) located within a 90-nucleotide fragment of the core promoter upstream sequences and have compared its organization to that of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) enhancer II (We2). The GSHV element (Ge2) stimulates transcription from the viral core promoter and heterologous promoters in an orientation-indepen...
