Mutational analysis of the hepatitis B virus P gene product: domain structure and RNase H activity

Abstract: To correlate the hepatitis B virus P gene with the enzymatic activities predicted to participate in hepadnavirus reverse transcription, a series of P gene mutants containing missense mutations, in-phase insertions, and in-phase deletions was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. These mutants were tested in the context of otherwise intact hepatitis B virus genomes for the ability to produce core particles containing the virus-associated polymerase activity. The results obtained suggest that the P protein c… Show more

“…by its absence in mutant P11, which carried a stop codon at the very beginning of the P gene (lanes 1 and 2) and (ii) by a strong reduction of its immunoprecipitation by competition with the homologous peptides P6 and P8 (lane 4). To prove further that the 32P-labelled 90 kDa protein detected was a P gene product, mutant PA1-P12, which was derived from construct P12 by introducing a 90 amino acid deletion into the spacer region (Radziwill et al, 1990; Table I) was analysed in parallel. As shown in lane 5, a protein with an expected size of -80 kDa was detected and again immunoprecipitation could be competed with the homologous peptides (lane 6).…”

“…For replication of HBV in the HuH-7 liver cell line, plasmid pHBV was used that carries a 1.1 mer of the HBV DNA genome (Radziwill et al, 1990). This plasmid was cotransfected with pEGFP.S by the calcium phosphate precipitation technique.…”
