Figures

Fig. 1
Fig. 1. Diagram of novel MT targeted therapeutics in HBV infection.
Numbers indicated putative drug targets. (1) MAP1S inhibition/silencing, (2) MAP1S-dependent acetylation of MTs, and (3) MAP1S dependent autophagy. Blue lines indicate induction. Red lines indicate uppression. A red X indicates inhibition or silencing of MAP1S. Orange/yellow stars represent acetylation of MTs. HBV complete virion is shown by hexagonal capsid with green HBsAg and HBV naked capsid is shown by a brown hexagon. HBV, Hepatitis B virus; MAPs, microtubule associated proteins; MTs, microtubules; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.
