Expression of the seven viral proteins is ensured by the transcription of four size forms of co-terminal RNAs of 3.5 kb (HBeAg, CORE, and P), 2.4 kb (L), 2.1 kb (M and S), and 0.7 kb (HBx) [18]. The 3.5-kb RNAs are over genome length and hence terminally redundant. Only ...
The physiological meaning of lpxT regulation in response to temperature changes remains to be established. LpxT activity is negatively regulated by the PmrR protein in response to different stimuli such as high iron or acid pH [19–21]. In previous studies, we noticed that the expression of ...
