Capsid phosphorylation and pgRNA packaging. The schema summarizes a mechanism that hyperphosphorylation of the core protein impairs packaging of the pgRNA/polymerase (P) complex, while hypophosphorylation enables efficient packaging of the pgRNA/polymerase complex. (pg = pregenomic, P = HBV-polymerase)
