CREB3L1 Target Genes in Response to Hepatitis C Replicon Infection

Membrane-bound transcription factor CREB3L1 undergoes Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis (RIP) in response to Hepatitis C infection. RIP activates CREB3L1 so that it can prevent the growth of HCV infected cells through the action of downstream genes. We over-expressed a truncated form of CREB3L1 that does not require RIP to enter the nucleus. Cells over-expressing this truncated form were isolated by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS).
