An Arginine-Rich Motif in the ORF2 capsid protein regulates the hepatitis E virus lifecycle and interactions with the host cell

Abstract: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. Hepatitis E is usually asymptomatic and self-limiting but it can become chronic in immunocompromised patients and is associated with increased fulminant hepatic failure and mortality rates in pregnant women. HEV genome encodes three proteins including the ORF2 protein that is the viral capsid protein. Interestingly, HEV produces 3 isoforms of the ORF2 capsid protein which are partitioned in different subcellular comp… Show more

“…2 a). Of note, P3H2 and 1E6 antibodies recognize the different ORF2 isoforms notably the ORF2g/c forms, which are proteins going through the secretory pathway [ 7 , 10 , 19 ], leading to the diffuse ORF2 staining observed in some cells. Of note, all antibodies also recognized ORF2 proteins from HEV-gt1 (Supplementary data, Fig.…”

“…To further understand which viral determinant is important for the formation of HEV-induced subcellular structures, we transfected PLC3 cells with an ORF3-null mutant (HEV- ORF3) [ 15 ] (Fig. 5 c) and an ORF2 assembly mutant (HEV-5R/5A) [ 10 ] (Fig. 5 d).…”
