A Single Adaptive Mutation in Sodium Taurocholate Cotransporting Polypeptide Induced by Hepadnaviruses Determines Virus Species-specificity
2018-08-20
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and its hepadnavirus relatives infect a wide range of vertebrates from fish to human. Hepadnaviruses and their hosts have a long history of acquiring adaptive mutations. However, there are no reports providing direct molecular evidence for such a coevolutionary “arms race” between hepadnaviruses and their hosts. Here, we present evidence suggesting the adaptive evolution of the sodium tauro...
