Studies on the replication of hepadnaviruses and hepatitis delta virus / Tom Bernard Macnaughton.
Examines hepadravirus and HDV replication and gene expression with particular emphasis on the block(s) preventing HBV infection invitro, the extent of the helper function provided by HDV by HBV and the mechanism of HDV RNA replication.

Computational studies of the structure, dynamics, and catalysis of the hepatitis delta virus ribozyme
… significance in evolutionary biology. The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme is a small nucleolytic RNA that performs a phosphodiester self-cleavage reaction generating products with a 2’, 3’-cyclic phosphate and a 5’ -hydroxyl termini. This ribozyme was initially discovered in the RNA …

Investigation of the Polyprimidine Tract-Binding Protein-Associated Splicing Factor (PSF) Domains Required for the Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Replication
The hepatitis delta virus (HDV), composed of ~1,700nt, is the smallest circular RNA pathogen known to infect humans. Understanding the mode of replication of HDV implies on investigating the host proteins that bind to its genome. The polypyrimidine tract-binding protein-associated splicing factor …

Investigating and expanding the functionality of RNA catalysts: Studies of the hepatitis delta virus, the hammerhead, and the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-like ribozymes
… site of two small self-cleaving ribozymes, the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme and the hammerhead ribozyme. Results presented here suggest that divalent metal ions play critical roles in the catalytic mechanisms of both the HDV and the hammerhead ribozymes. In the HDV ribozyme, the result …

An Alternative View of the Templates and Functions of RNA Polymerase II
… synthesis during replication of some Viroids and Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV). In this study HDV RNA-templated pol II transcription was examined in vitro, using HeLa cell nuclear extracts (NE). Under standard conditions for the DNA-templated pol II transcription, a segment of the antigenomic (AG) …
