将一系列核心启动子区的缺失突变引入乙肝病毒( H B V) 线性转录单元, 从病毒的抗原、 R N A 以及子代 D N A 等各个水平, 分析了各缺失突变对前基因组 R N A 和前核心 R N A 转录的影响, 对核心启动子各片段的功能进行了深入的研究。 C 片段缺失后检测不到e 抗原和前核心 R N A, 却仍有核心抗原和前基因组 R N A 的合成以及病毒子代 D N A 的复制; 而 B3 片段缺失后e 抗原和核心抗原均有显著下降, 但仍能检测到两种m R N A 的合成和病毒子代 D N A。结果表明, 核心启动子区域的 C 片段和 D 片段均具有基本启动子功能, 它们介导前核心 R N A 和前基因组 R N A 的基础转录。 D 片段对前基因组转录起始的重要作用尚未见报道。上游与增强子 I I重叠的 B3 片段对这两种 R N A 的有效转录起重要的调节作用
A series of deletion mutations in the core promoter region were introduced into the linear transcription unit of hepatitis B virus (HBV). From the antigen of the virus, R N A and the descended D N A, A and pre-core R N A transcripts, the functions of the core promoter fragments were studied in depth. However, the e antigen and pre-core R N A were not detected after the deletion of C fragment, but the synthesis of core antigen and pre-genomic R N A and the replication of virus progeny D N A still remained. However, both e antigen and core antigen There was a significant decrease, but both the synthetic and viral progeny of the m R N A, D N A, were still detectable. The results showed that both the C and D fragments in the core promoter region have basic promoter functions that mediate the basal transcription of R N A in the pre-core and R N A in the pre-genome. The important role of D fragment on the initiation of pregenome transcription has not been reported yet. The B3 fragment upstream overlapping with enhancer I I plays an important regulatory role in the efficient transcription of both R N A
