Four overlapping reading frames (surface [ ], core [ ], polymerase [ ], and the x gene [ ]) encode for the viral proteins. Three upstream regions (preC, preS1, and preS2) are also shown. The size of each segment is shown in parentheses. aa = amino acids. Adapted with permission from reference. Figure Legend: Copyright © American College of Physicians.

Translocation of pregenomic RNA can be inhibited by interferon-α, and reverse transcription of the pregenomic RNA by polymerase to HBV DNA can be inhibited by nucleoside analogues. Association of the partially double-stranded DNA with envelope proteins leads to the formation of mature HBV particles that are then released from the hepatocyte. mRNA = messenger RNA.
