Virus Mutation HBV Mutation M125T


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site M125T
Mutation Site Sentence Two common mu- tations (M125T and T127P) located at present within the a-determinant were characteristic for genomes of genotype D and therefore are unlikely to cause a severe secretion defect.

Abstract There is increasing evidence that certain pathogenic hepatitis B virus (HBV) variants may play a role in the pathogenesis of fulminant hepatitis (FHB). Recently, we isolated from a patient with fulminant recurrent hepatitis B after liver transplantation variants with enhanced replication competence and a possible defect in viral particle secretion. Both viral features may have contributed to the severity of the disease. The aim of this study was to prove the secretion defect of these variants, to analyze the consequences, and to identify the responsible viral mutations. The variant genomes and appropriate wild-type/variant hybrid genomes were functionally characterized after transfection in human hepatoma cells. Two cloned genomes and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified mixture of full-length genomes showed a block in viral particle secretion. This was caused by a combination of amino acid changes in the S-protein including the mutation G145R frequently emerging after hyperimmunoglobulin treatment. The mutations induced retention of the surface proteins in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-like compartment, but no intracellular accumulation. These data provide evidence for the in vivo existence of a dominant HBV population with a severe defect in viral particle secretion caused by mutations in the S-gene. This viral phenotype in combination with the enhanced replication competence may have contributed to the fulminant clinical course of the infection.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
