General annotation (Comments)

Function

Self assembles to form an icosahedral capsid. Most capsid appear to be large particles with a icosahedral symmetry of T=4 and consist of 240 copies of capsid protein, though a fraction forms smaller T=3 particles consisting of 180 capsid proteins. Entering capsid are transported along microtubules to the nucleus. Phosphorylation of the capsid is thought to induce exposure of nuclear localization signal in the C-terminal portion of the capsid protein that allows binding to the nuclear pore complex via the importin (karyopherin-) alpha and beta. Capsids are imported in intact form through the nuclear pore into the nuclear basket, where it probably binds NUP153. Only capsids that contain the mature viral genome can release the viral DNA and capsid protein into the nucleoplasm. Immature capsids get stucked in the basket. Capsids encapsulate the pre-genomic RNA and the P protein. Pre-genomic RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA while the capsid is still in the cytoplasm. The capsid can then either be directed to the nucleus, providing more genome for transcription, or bud through the endoplasmic reticulum to provide new virions By similarity.

Encapsidates hepatitis delta genome By similarity.

Subunit structure

Homodimerizes, then multimerizes. Interacts with cytosol exposed regions of viral L glycoprotein present in the reticulum-to-Golgi compartment. Interacts with human FLNB By similarity.

Subcellular location

Capsid protein: Virion. Host cytoplasm By similarity.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated by host SRPK1, SRPK2, and maybe protein kinase A, protein kinase C or GAPDH. Phosphorylation is critical for pregenomic RNA packaging. Protein kinase C phosphorylation is stimulated by HBx protein and may play a role in transport of the viral genome to the nucleus at the late step during viral replication cycle. Protein kinase A phosphorylation may promote capsid assembly By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the orthohepadnavirus core antigen family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative initiation. [Align] [Select]
Isoform Capsid protein (identifier: Q9QMI2-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform External core antigen (identifier: P0C6I0-1)

The sequence of this isoform can be found in the external entry P0C6I0.
Isoforms of the same protein are often annotated in two different entries if their sequences differ significantly.
