Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) has been reported to counteract the innate immune responses through interfering with the pattern recognition receptors signaling activated by retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). Here, we showed that, compared to the HBx derived from genotype (gt) A, C and D, HBx of gtB exhibited more potent inhibitory activity on the RIG-I-MAVS-mediated interferon-beta promoter activation. Functional analysis of the genotype-associated differences in amino acid sequence and the reciprocal mutation experiments in transient-transfection and infection cell models revealed that HBx with asparagine (N) and glutamic acid (E) at 118-119 positions inhibited RIG-I signaling and interacted with MAVS more efficiently than that with lysine (K) and aspartic acid (D). An impaired RIG-I-induced MAVS aggregation was observed in the presence of HBx-118N119E while MAVS-TRAF3 interaction was not affected. These results implicated that HBx gene heterogeneity may affect the innate immune responses to HBV 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.
