Mechanism of suppression of hepatitis B virus precore RNA transcription by a frequent double mutation.
A double mutation which converts nucleotide 1765 from A to T and nucleotide 1767 from G to A is frequently found in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome isolated from HBV patients with chronic hepatitis symptoms. This double mutation is located in the core promoter that controls the transcription of the precore RNA and the core RNA. In addition, this double mutation also resides in the X protein ...

the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...
15 صفحه اولAndrogen receptor promotes hepatitis B virus-induced hepatocarcinogenesis through modulation of hepatitis B virus RNA transcription.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced hepatitis and carcinogen-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are associated with serum androgen concentration. However, how androgen or the androgen receptor (AR) contributes to HBV-induced hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear. We found that hepatic AR promotes HBV-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in HBV transgenic mice that lack AR only in the liver hepatocytes (...
متن کاملPrecore-mediated inhibition of hepatitis B virus progeny DNA synthesis.
The capacities to induce the synthesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) unit-length DNA were compared for two HBV DNAs with an overall sequence diversity of about 10%. They had been cloned from serum (DNA2) and from a hepatocellular carcinoma (DNA4), respectively. As a major difference, DNA4 carries a translational stop signal preventing the synthesis of precore protein. Progeny DNA yields obtained a...
متن کاملTranscription of hepatitis delta virus RNA by RNA polymerase II.
Previous studies have indicated that the replication of the RNA genome of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) involves redirection of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a host enzyme that normally uses DNA as a template. However, there has been some controversy about whether in one part of this HDV RNA transcription, a polymerase other than Pol II is involved. The present study applied a recently described ce...
