Transcription of Hepatitis B Virus Covalently Closed Circular DNA Is Regulated by CpG Methylation during Chronic Infection
The persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is maintained by the nuclear viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), which serves as transcription template for viral mRNAs. Previous studies suggested that cccDNA contains methylation-prone CpG islands, and that the minichromosome structur...
