Article Synopsis
- The hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle, and compounds like Bay41-4109 can alter this by disrupting HBV capsid assembly.
- Bay41-4109 induces the formation of non-capsid polymers, whose removal from cells is dependent on the E3 ubiquitin ligase STUB1, which helps transport these polymers for degradation.
- Enhancing STUB1 levels boosts the effectiveness of Bay41-4109 in reducing HBV production and cccDNA formation, indicating potential for targeted HBV treatment strategies.
