摘要
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA replication takes place inside the viral core particle and is dependent on autophagy. Here we show that HBV core particles are associated with autophagosomes and phagophores in cells that productively replicate HBV. These autophagic membrane-associated core particles contain almost entirely the hypophosphorylated core protein and are DNA replication competent. As the hyperphosphorylated core protein can be localized to phagophores and the dephosphorylation of the core protein is associated with the packaging of viral pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), these results are in support of the model that phagophores can serve as the sites for the packaging of pgRNA. In contrast, in cells that replicate HBV, the precore protein derivatives, which are related to the core protein, are associated with autophagosomes but not with phagophores via a pathway that is independent of its signal peptide. Interestingly, when the core protein is expressed by itself, it is associated with phagophores but not with autophagosomes. These observations indicate that autophagic membranes are differentially involved in the trafficking of precore and core proteins. HBV induces the fusion of autophagosomes and multivesicular bodies and the silencing of Rab11, a regulator of this fusion, is associated with the reduction of release of mature HBV particles. Our studies thus indicate that autophagic membranes participate in the assembly of HBV nucleocapsids, the trafficking of HBV precore and core proteins, and likely also the egress of HBV particles.
