Table 1. Quantification of the Ran-independent release of HBV genomes from mature virus-derived capsids.
| Sample | % Genomes | % Protein |
|---|---|---|
| No substrate (D) | 0 | 0 |
| Substrate + BSA + ATP + GTP (C) | 0 | 0 |
| Substrate + reticulocyte lysate (B) | 100 | 100 |
| Substrate + BSA + ATP + GTP + Impα + Impβ (E) | 28 | 0 |
| Substrate + BSA + ATP + GTP + Impα + Impβ + Ran GDP (A) | 40 | 40 |
| Substrate + BSA + ATP + GTP + Impα + Impβ + Ran GDP + GTP[γS] (F) | 28 | 6 |
In 50 cells per sample, the intranuclear hybridization signal was analyzed. The background, revealed from the sample in which no substrate was added, was subtracted and taken as 0%. The positive control, in which rabbit reticulocyte lysate was added, was taken as the 100% value. The letters in parentheses refer to the panels in Fig. 5. % Genomes, percentage of released intranuclear HBV genomes. % Protein, percentage of intranuclear control protein.
