Basic Characteristics of Mutations

Abstract Virion release of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from hepatocytes is a tightly regulated event. It is a dogma that only the mature HBV genome is preferentially allowed to export from the intracellular compartment (J. Summers and W. S. Mason, Cell 29:403-415, 1982). Recently, an ""immature secretion"" phenotype of a highly frequent naturally occurring HBV variant containing a leucine residue at amino acid 97 of the core protein was identified. Unlike wild-type HBV, this variant secretes almost equal amounts of mature and immature genomes. This phenomenon is not caused by any instability of core particles or by any deficiency in viral reverse transcription (T. T. Yuan, P. C. Tai, and C. Shih, J. Virol. 73:10122-10128, 1999). In this study, our kinetic analysis of virion secretion of the mutant F97L (phenylalanine to leucine) indicates that the secretion of its immature genome does not occur earlier than that of its mature genome. In addition, the secretion kinetics of the mature genomes are comparable between the wild-type HBV and the mutant F97L. Therefore, the immature secretion phenomenon of mutant F97L is not caused by premature secretion or more efficient secretion. Previously, we hypothesized that the immature secretion phenotype is probably caused by the aberrant interaction between its mutant core and wild-type envelope proteins. Here, we further demonstrated that a pre-S1 envelope mutation at position 119, changing an alanine (A) to a phenylalanine (F), can offset the immature secretion phenotype of the mutant I97L (isoleucine to leucine) and successfully restore the wild-type-like selective export of the mature genome of the double mutant pre-S1-A119F/core-I97L.
