Host 3' flap endonuclease Mus81 plays a critical role in trimming the terminal redundancy of hepatitis B virus relaxed circular DNA during covalently closed circular DNA formation. by Hu Zhang, Quanxin Long, Yuanjie Liu, Alexander L Marchetti, Cheng-Der Liu, Ning Sun, Haitao Guo

“…Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis revealed that the positive (+) strand DNA of rcDNA and both strands of cccDNA predominantly carried the wt nt1822 residue, indicating that the 5' TR of (-) strand DNA serves as the template during rcDNA replication, forming a duplex with the (+) strand DNA, while the 3' TR forms a flap-like structure, which is subsequently removed during cccDNA formation. In a survey of known cellular flap endonucleases using a loss-of-function study, we found that the 3' flap endonuclease Mus81 plays a critical role in cccDNA formation in wild-type HBV replicating cells, alongside the 5' flap endonuclease FEN1. …”
