Lost Small Envelope Protein Expression from Naturally Occurring PreS1 Deletion Mutants of Hepatitis B Virus Is Often Accompanied by Increased HBx and Core Protein Expression as Well as Genome Replication
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) transcribes coterminal mRNAs of 0.7 to 3.5 kb from the 3.2-kb covalently closed circular DNA, with the 2.1-kb RNA being most abundant. The 0.7-kb RNA produces HBx protein, a transcriptional transactivator, while the 3.5-kb pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) drives core and P protein tran...
