The hepatitis B virus X protein is a promiscuous transcriptional
transactivator. Transactivation by the X protein is most likely mediated
through binding to different cellular factors. Using the yeast two-hybrid
method, we have isolated a clone that encodes a novel X- associated
cellular protein: XAP2. X and XAP2 interactions also occur in vitro.
Antiserum raised against XAP2 recognizes a cytoplasmic protein with an
apparent molecular mass of 36 kDa. The interaction between X and XAP2
requires a small region on X containing amino acids 13-26. From Northern
blot analyses, XAP2 is ubiquitously expressed in both liver-derived and
non-liver-derived cell lines as well as in normal non-liver tissues. In
contrast, XAP2 is expressed in very low level in the normal human liver. In
transfection assays, overexpression of XAP2 abolishes transactivation by
the X protein. Based on these results, we suggest that XAP2 is an important
cellular negative regulator of the X protein, and that X-XAP2 interaction
may play a role in HBV pathology.
