Abstract
HBV persists by depositing covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) into the nucleus of infected host cells. HBV X protein (HBx) is a crucial determinant for regulating HBV activity, but the molecular details have not been fully understood. A new role for HBx in regulating cccDNA transcription has now been identified.Entities:
