rpb۵-mediating protein suppresses hepatitis b virus (hbv) transcription and replication by counteracting the transcriptional activation of hepatitis b virus x protein in hbv replication mouse model
conclusions our study demonstrated that a low dose of rmp could inhibit hbv transcription and replication, which is dependent on the appearance of hbx in vivo. results rpb5-mediating protein could inhibit hbv transcription and replication in groups transfected with the 1.2 wt and hbx. the inhibitory effect disappeared in the 1.2x (-) groups, yet it reappeared in the groups co-transfected with 1...
متن کاملRegulation of hepatitis B virus replication by the ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway.
The replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be regulated by a variety of factors, including hormones, growth factors, and cytokines. However, the molecular mechanisms of these regulations are largely unknown. Ras is a small GTPase that responds to many of these external stimuli. In this study, we investigated the possible effect of Ras on the replication of HBV. Our results indicated that ac...
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 کاملRPB5-Mediating Protein Suppresses Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Transcription and Replication by Counteracting the Transcriptional Activation of Hepatitis B virus X Protein in HBV Replication Mouse Model
BACKGROUND RPB5-Mediating protein (RMP) is associated with the RNA polymerase II subunit RPB5. This protein functionally counteracts the transcriptional activation of Hepatitis B Virus X protein (HBx) by competitively binding to the RPB5; however, the effects of RMP on Hepatitis B virus (HBV) transcription and replication remain unknown. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate...
متن کاملHepatitis B Precore Protein: Pathogenic Potential and Therapeutic Promise
Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a small and economically packaged double-stranded DNA virus, represents an enormous global health care burden. In spite of an effective vaccine, HBV is endemic in many countries. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) results in the development of significant clinical outcomes such as liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which are associated with high mortality rates. H...
