Predicted structure of the hepatitis B virus polymerase reveals an ancient conserved protein fold

Abstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replicates by protein-primed reverse transcription. It chronically infects >250 million people, and the dominant anti-HBV drugs are nucleos(t)ide analogs targeting the viral polymerase (P). P has four domains, the terminal protein (TP) that primes DNA synthesis, a spacer, the reverse transcriptase (RT), and the ribonuclease H (RNaseH). Despite being a major drug target and catalyzing a reverse transcription pathway very different from the retroviral pathway, HBV P has resisted struct… Show more
