Global re-wiring of p53 transcription regulation by the hepatitis B virus X protein
The tumour suppressor p53 is a central player in transcription regulation and cell fate determination. By interacting with p53 and altering its sequence-specific binding to the response elements, the hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) was reported to re-direct p53 regulation of some genes.
