Hepatitis C virus core protein activates proteasomal activator 28 gamma to downregulate p16 levels via ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation
Proteasomal activator 28 gamma (PA28γ), an essential constituent of the 20S proteasome, is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is recently known to activate PA28γ expression in human hepatocytes via upregulation of p53 levels; however, its role...
