Morphogenetic and regulatory effects of mutations in the envelope proteins of an avian hepadnavirus.
TL;DR: The envelope gene of the avian hepadnavirus, duck hepatitis B virus, was mutated in order to dissect the functions of the two major envelope proteins pre-S/S and S, found to be required for virus particle assembly and secretion.

Infection initiated by the RNA pregenome of a DNA virus.
Mingjun Huang,Jesse Summers +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the pregenome of hepadnaviruses can express all the proteins required for DNA synthesis as well as serve as a template for reverse transcription and that DNA resulting from pre genome expression can be utilized to establish a productive infection in pregenomes-transfected cells.

pet, a small sequence distal to the pregenome cap site, is required for expression of the duck hepatitis B virus pregenome.
Mingjun Huang,Jesse Summers +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro transcription experiments support the model that pet is required for transcription elongation on the DHBV template, and speculate that dog is required to suppress transcription termination during the first passage of pregenome transcription complexes through a viral termination region on the circular viral DNA.
