Hepatitis delta virus genotype I (HDV) Small delta antigen Protein (His & Myc)

Promotes both transcription and replication of genomic RNA. Following virus entry into host cell, provides nuclear import of HDV RNPs thanks to its nuclear localization signal. May interact with host RNA polymerase II thereby changing its template requirement from DNA to RNA. RNA pol II complex would then acts as an RNA-directed RNA polymerase, and transcribe and replicate HDV genome. Hepatitis delta virus genotype I (HDV) Small delta antigen Protein (His & Myc) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 25.4 kDa and the accession number is P06934.
