Abstract
We have used the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) model to study the interference with infection by a myristoylated peptide representing an N-terminal pre-S subdomain of the large viral envelope protein. Although lacking the essential part of the carboxypeptidase D (formerly called gp180) receptor binding site, the peptide binds hepatocytes and subsequently blocks DHBV infection. Since its activity requires an amino acid sequence involved in host discrimination between DHBV and the related heron HBV (T. Ishikawa and D. Ganem, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:6259-6263, 1995), we suggest that it is related to the postulated host-discriminating cofactor of infection.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
