In muscle cells actin exists as a mixture of monomeric (G-actin) and filamentous actin (F-actin) and ionic conditions strongly favor the formation of F-actin. The existence of unpolymerized actin depends, among other factors, on proteins that bind to G-actin, the so-called G-actin-binding proteins (
Hepatitis B virus-encoded X antigen contributes to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Given that X antigen functions by binding to other proteins, additional X-binding proteins were sought from an adult human liver cDNA library in a yeast two-hybrid system. The results yielded a clone enco
