HBV polymerase recruits the phosphatase PP1 to dephosphorylate HBc-Ser170 to complete encapsidation.

The HBV core (HBc) protein contains an N-terminal domain (NTD) for capsid assembly and an arginine-rich C-terminal domain (CTD) for pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) encapsidation. Phosphorylation of the HBc CTD, especially at Ser162 and Ser170, is essential for nucleation with the polymerase (Pol) to initiate...
