AG Bruss - Molecular biology of hepatitis B viruses
About 1/3 of the global human population is or has been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and 350 million people are persistent virus carriers being at risk to develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. An effective vaccine is available to prevent new infections. However, chronic infections and the resulting liver diseases are still serious medical problems and available therapies of limited efficacy. The development of new or the improvement of existing therapeutic concepts on a rational basis requires a deep knowledge of the biology of HBV on a molecular level.

Research topics
The work group “Molecular HBV Biology” studies several aspects of the viral life cycle:


(i) The virus particle is formed by the assembly of an icosahedral capsid containing the viral genome in the cytosol of the hepatocyte and subsequent envelopment of the capsid at an internal cellular membrane containing viral proteins. This envelopment or budding process translocates the capsid across the cellular membrane and allows the release of the infectious virus into the blood stream by the secretion machinery of the cell. A very specific interaction between the capsid surface and cytoplasmic domains of viral membrane proteins are required for and probably drive the envelopment process. We try to describe the molecular surfaces of capsid and envelope involved in budding. In addition we want to use this step as an antiviral target by developing small molecules specifically blocking capsid-envelope interactions.

(ii) During capsid formation a viral RNA molecule is packaged in the lumen together with a viral reverse transcriptase. This early, RNA containing, “immature” capsid is incompetent for budding. The reverse transcription of the RNA molecule in the capsid lumen generates the viral DNA genome. The capsid is then named “mature” and becomes competent for envelopment. We want to understand the molecular difference between immature and mature capsids and how this envelopment signal is generated.

(iii) After infection the viral DNA genome enters the nucleus and stays there as a covalently closed circular (ccc) molecule in an episomal state. Current therapies of HBV infections are not capable of directly reducing the amount of viral ccc DNA. Therefore, the virus often recurs after cessation of an antiviral therapy. We want to understand the steps leading from the open circular viral DNA genome in the capsid to the ccc DNA form of the genome in the nucleus and the cellular factors involved in this process.
