Hepatitis B virus DNA replication is coordinated by core protein serine phosphorylation and HBx expression.
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein forms the capsid of viral particles and is essential for viral genome DNA replication and maturation. The C terminus of core protein contains three serines at positions 155, 162, and 170, phosphorylation of which is important for viral DNA replication. We demonstrate that the phosphorylation of these serines is stimulated by the viral HBx protein, a regu...
متن کاملRequirement of cellular DDX3 for hepatitis C virus replication is unrelated to its interaction with the viral core protein
The cellular DEAD-box protein DDX3 was recently shown to be essential for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Prior to that, we had reported that HCV core binds to DDX3 in yeast-two hybrid and transient transfection assays. Here, we confirm by co-immunoprecipitation that this interaction occurs in cells replicating the JFH1 virus. Consistent with this result, immunofluorescence staining of inf...
متن کاملThe early autophagic pathway is activated by hepatitis B virus and required for viral DNA replication.
Autophagy is a catabolic process by which cells remove long-lived proteins and damaged organelles for recycling. Viral infections may also induce autophagic response. Here we show that hepatitis B virus (HBV), a pathogen that chronically infects approximately 350 million people globally, can enhance autophagic response in cell cultures, mouse liver, and during natural infection. This enhancemen...
متن کاملHigh-resolution crystal structure of a hepatitis B virus replication inhibitor bound to the viral core protein.
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is essential for HBV replication and an important target for antiviral drug discovery. We report the first, to our knowledge, high-resolution crystal structure of an antiviral compound bound to the HBV core protein. The compound NVR-010-001-E2 can induce assembly of the HBV core wild-type and Y132A mutant proteins and thermostabilize the proteins with a ...
متن کاملrpb۵-mediating protein suppresses hepatitis b virus (hbv) transcription and replication by counteracting the transcriptional activation of hepatitis b virus x protein in hbv replication mouse model
conclusions our study demonstrated that a low dose of rmp could inhibit hbv transcription and replication, which is dependent on the appearance of hbx in vivo. results rpb5-mediating protein could inhibit hbv transcription and replication in groups transfected with the 1.2 wt and hbx. the inhibitory effect disappeared in the 1.2x (-) groups, yet it reappeared in the groups co-transfected with 1...
