Molecular cloning of covalently closed circular DNA of bovine leukemia virus.
The two species of covalently closed circular DNA molecules of bovine leukemia virus were cloned in the lambda phage vector lambda gtWES X lambda B. Of the nine independent recombinant lambda-bovine leukemia virus clones that were analyzed, three were derived from the small and six were derived from the large circular molecules carrying, respectively, one and two copies of the long terminal rep...
متن کاملDetection of HBV Covalently Closed Circular DNA
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects approximately 240 million people worldwide and remains a serious public health concern because its complete cure is impossible with current treatments. Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in the nucleus of infected cells cannot be eliminated by present therapeutics and may result in persistence and relapse. Drug development targeting cccDNA ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the intracellular deproteinized relaxed circular DNA of hepatitis B virus: an intermediate of covalently closed circular DNA formation.
Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is formed by conversion of capsid-associated relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) via unknown mechanisms and exists in the nucleus of the infected hepatocyte as a minichromosome that serves as the transcription template for viral RNAs. To study the molecular pathway of cccDNA formation and its regulation by viral and cellular factors, w...
متن کاملFormation of hepatitis B virus covalently closed circular DNA: removal of genome-linked protein.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) contains a small, partially double-stranded, relaxed circular (RC) DNA genome. RC DNA needs to be converted to covalently closed circular (CCC) DNA, which serves as the template for all viral RNA transcription. As a first step toward understanding how CCC DNA is formed, we analyzed the viral and host factors that may be involved in CCC DNA formation, using transient and ...
متن کاملQuantification of Pregenomic RNA and Covalently Closed Circular DNA in Hepatitis B Virus-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) is generated from covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and plays important roles in viral genome amplification and replication. Hepatic pgRNA and cccDNA expression levels indicate viral persistence and replication activity. This study was aimed to measure hepatic pgRNA and cccDNA expression levels in various states of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Thirty-eight hep...
