Intruduction: | HBxAg gene encodes a 17-kDa viral protein that plays an essential role in the HBV replication cycle. It was recently determined that a key function of HBxAg is to promote the degradation of the cellular structural maintenance of chromosomes 5/6 complex (Smc5/6). Smc5/6 directly binds DNA, and has been shown to topologically entrap DNA plasmids. As such, HBxAg is a potential therapeutic target since it promotes the degradation of the hepatocyte Smc5/6 complex that inhibits HBV transcription. Full-length HBxAg cDNA (153aa, derived from Adw2 subtype) was constructed with codon optimization gene synthesis and expressed with YFP protein as N-terminal (YFP; 256aa) fusion partner in E.coli as inclusion bodies. The final product was refolded using our unique “temperature shift inclusion body refolding” technology and chromatographically purified. |
