Abstract The functional significance of naturally occurring variants of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains largely unknown. Previously, we reported an immature secretion phenotype caused by a highly frequent mutation at amino acid 97 of the HBV core (capsid) protein (HBcAg). This phenotype is characterized by a nonselective and excessive secretion of virions containing an immature genome of single-stranded viral DNA. To extend our study of virion secretion to other naturally occurring variants, we have characterized mutations at HBcAg codons 5, 38, and 60 via site-directed mutagenesis. Although the phenotype of the mutation at codon 38 is nearly identical to that for the wild-type virus, our study reveals that a single mutation at codon 5 or 60 exhibits a new extracellular phenotype with significantly reduced virion secretion yet maintains normal intracellular viral DNA replication. A complementation study indicates that the mutant core protein alone is sufficient for the ""low-secretion"" phenotype. Furthermore, the low-secretion phenotype of the codon 5 mutant appears to be induced by the loss of a parental proline residue, rather than by the gain of a new amino acid. Our study underscores the core protein as another crucial determinant in virion secretion, in addition to the known envelope proteins. Our present results suggest that a very precise structure of both alpha-helical and nonhelical loop regions of the entire HBcAg molecule is important for virion secretion. The low-secretion variants may contribute to the phenomenon of gradually decreasing viremia in chronic carriers during the late phase of persistent infection.
