Episomal HBV persistence within transcribed host nuclear chromatin compartments involves HBx

BACKGROUND: In hepatocyte nuclei, hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes occur episomally as covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). The HBV X protein (HBx) is required to initiate and maintain HBV replication. The functional nuclear localization of cccDNA and HBx remains unexplored. RESULTS: To identify...
