Self-association of the hepatitis B virus X protein in the yeast two-hybrid system.

Abstract:

:Self-association of the transactivator HBx protein of hepatitis B virus was investigated using the yeast two-hybrid system. Expression vectors for the full-length HBx (X0) and its truncated mutants (X15 and X16) were constructed by separately ligating the DNA-binding (BD) and transactivation domains (AD) of Gal4. Co-transformants of the BD and AD constructs of HBx were selected using defined minimal medium and analyzed for the reconstitution of beta-galactosidase activity. No two-hybrid interaction was observed either between the full-length HBx molecules or its highly truncated mutant X16. However, a strong functional interaction between X0 and X15, X0 and X16, and X15 and X16 suggested that HBx could self-associate in a cellular environment through its carboxy-terminal region.
