    (A, B) HepAD38 cells were treated with DMSO or increasing concentrations of Bay41-4109 (as indicated) for 36 h. Cytoplasmic lysates from each sample were condensed with a centrifugal filter (100-KDa cutoff) and subjected to iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation. The levels of the HBc and STUB1 proteins in each fraction were then analyzed with dot blots (A), and were quantified based on two independent experiments by ImageJ (B). (C) HepAD38 cells were treated with 1 μM Bay41-4109 or DMSO as indicated for 48 h. The cells were then immunostained for HBc (green) and stub1 (red). Nuclei were stained with Hochest33342. Areas indicated by white boxes are enlarged. Arrows point to representive co-localized sites. The scale bar is 10 μm.

Capsid levels of two independent immunoblots were quantified by ImageJ (B). (C, D) HepAD38 cells transduced with LV-STUB1 or LV-control were treated with the indicated concentrations of Bay41-4109 for 6 d. Media were refreshed every 2 d. The number of HBV DNA copies (C) and HBeAg level (D) in media were quantified. The error bars indicate ±SD. ** p < 0.01, calculated by unpaired two-tailed student’s t-test. (E, F) HepAD38 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-STUB1 or control plasmid, and pcDNA3.1-p25ΔCTD or pcDNA3.1-p25. At 1 d after transfection, cells were incubated in medium with 1 μM Bay41-4109 or DMSO for 2 d. Cell extracts were then analyzed by western blotting using antibodies recognizing myc tag or actin (E). The quantification results of three independent immunoblots are shown as relative percentages (p17/Actin or precore/Actin) with mock-treated samples set to 100% (F).

(B, C, D) HepG2-NTCP cells transduced with LV-STUB1 or LV-control were infected with HBV at MOI of 500 genome equivalents in the presence of 2% DMSO. Bay41-4109 (1 μM) or DMSO was added during HBV infection. The HBeAg level (B) and HBV DNA copies (C) in media were quantified at 2, 4, and 6 d after HBV infection. The error bars indicate ±SD.* p < 0.05.** p < 0.01, p value was calculated by unpaired two-tailed student’s t-test. (D, E) Cells were immunostained for HBc (green) as indicated. Nuclei were stained with Hochest33342 (D) The fluorescence signal intensity was quantified by ImageJ (E). * p < 0.05, p value was calculated by unpaired two-tailed student’s t-test.

    HAP-induced aberrant non-capsid polymers form complexes with STUB1, Hsp70 and BAG3, and are transported to the perinuclear compartment. Subsequently, macroautophagy receptor p62 binds to the complexes (via interaction with BAG3) and directs aberrant non-capsid polymers to form macroautophagosomes, which are ultimately fused with lysosomes.
