Expression of the hepatitis B virus core gene in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract:

:The core gene of hepatitis B virus contains two in-phase AUG codons which may both be used in the viral life cycle. By in vitro translation of transcripts produced in vitro, we investigated the corresponding core gene products and their counterparts in vivo. Depending on the location of the 5' end of the transcripts, two major core gene-derived proteins were obtained. In transcripts with both in-phase AUGs, only the first one was efficiently used and resulted in synthesis of a 25-kilodalton protein (precore). This protein contains a leader sequence and could be cotranslationally processed to a protein of 22.3 kilodaltons. Translation of transcripts lacking the first AUG of the core gene produced a core protein of 21.5 kilodaltons which comigrated with the core antigen expressed in infected livers. These data suggest that the major nucleocapsid protein expressed in vivo is initiated at the second ATG of the C gene and that a precore protein is probably synthesized as a precursor protein which is cotranslationally processed. Proteins consistent in size with processed and unprocessed precore proteins detected in woodchuck hepatitis virus-infected livers support this conclusion.

  • Equine herpesvirus 1 gene 12 can substitute for vmw65 in the growth of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1, allowing the generation of optimized cell lines for the propagation of HSV vectors with multiple immediate-early gene defects.

    abstract::Herpes simplex virus (HSV) has often been suggested for development as a vector, particularly for the nervous system. Considerable evidence has shown that for use of HSV as a vector, immediate-early (IE) gene expression must be minimized or abolished, otherwise such vectors are likely to be highly cytotoxic.
