Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site T123D
Mutation Site Sentence Comparison of HBs and Pol Amino Acids Sequences of HBV-WT (adr4) and W3S Several amino acid mutations in the RT region of the HBVpol were found in the W3S, since the HBs sequence was overlapped with RT (Figure 1A,B, and the bottom). We reported a diagnostic escape HBs sequence (W3S) in which two mutations, P120K and T123D close to the “a” determinant, were responsible for the escape [

Abstract Mutations in HBsAg, the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), might affect the serum HBV DNA level of HBV-infected patients, since the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain of HBV polymerase overlaps with the HBsAg-coding region. We previously identified a diagnostic escape mutant (W3S) HBV that produces massively glycosylated HBsAg. In this study, we constructed an HBV-producing vector that expresses W3S HBs (pHB-W3S) along with a wild-type HBV-producing plasmid (pHB-WT) in order to analyze the physicochemical properties, replication, and antiviral drug response of the mutant. Transfection of either pHB-WT or W3S into HepG2 cells yielded similar CsCl density profiles and eAg expression, as did transfection of a glycosylation defective mutant, pHB-W3S (N146G), in which a glycosylation site at the 146aa asparagine (N) site of HBs was mutated to glycine (G). Virion secretion, however, seemed to be severely impaired in cases of pHB-W3S and pHB-W3S (N146G), compared with pHB-WT, as determined by qPCR and Southern blot analysis. Furthermore, inhibition of glycosylation using tunicamycin(TM) on wild-type HBV production also reduced the virion secretion. These results suggested that the HBV core and Dane particle could be formed either by massively glycosylated or glycosylation-defective HBsAg, but reduced and/or almost completely blocked the virion secretion efficiency, indicating that balanced glycosylation of HBsAg is required for efficient release of HBV, and mutations inducing an imbalanced glycosylation of HBs would cause the virion to become stuck in the cells, which might be associated with various pathogeneses due to HBV infection.

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
