Abstract
Despite the availability of a prophylactic vaccine, chronic hepatitis B (CHB) caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major health problem affecting an estimated 292 million people globally. Current therapeutic goals are to achieve functional cure characterized by HBsAg seroclearance and the absence of HBV-DNA after treatment cessation. However, at present, functional cure is thought to be complicated due to the presence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and integrated HBV-DNA. Even if the episomal cccDNA is silenced or eliminated, it remains unclear how important the high level of HBsAg that is expressed from integrated HBV DNA is for the pathology. To identify therapies that could bring about high rates of functional cure, in-depth knowledge of the virus' biology is imperative to pinpoint mechanisms for novel therapeutic targets. The viral proteins and the episomal cccDNA are considered integral for the control and maintenance of the HBV life cycle and through direct interaction with the host proteome they help create the most optimal environment for the virus whilst avoiding immune detection. New HBV-host protein interactions are continuously being identified. Unfortunately, a compendium of the most recent information is lacking and an interactome is unavailable. This article provides a comprehensive review of the virus-host relationship from viral entry to release, as well as an interactome of cccDNA, HBc, and HBx.

Abstract
Pathogenic streptococcal species are responsible for some of the most lethal and prevalent animal and human infections. Previous reports have identified a candidate pathogenicity island (PAI) in two highly virulent clinical isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2, a causative agent of high-mortality streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. This PAI contains a type-IVC secretion system C subgroup (type-IVC secretion system) that is involved in the secretion of unknown pathogenic effectors that are responsible for streptococcal toxic shock syndrome caused by highly virulent strains of S. suis. Both virulence protein B4 and virulence protein D4 were demonstrated to be key components of this type-IVC secretion system. In this study, we identify a new PAI family across 3 streptococcal species; Streptococcus genomic island contains type-IV secretion system, which contains a genomic island type-IVC secretion system and a novel PPIase molecule, SP1. SP1 is shown to interact with a component of innate immunity, peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGLYRP-1) and to perturb the PGLYRP-1-mediated bacteriostatic effect by interacting with protein PGLYRP-1. Our study elucidates a novel mechanism by which bacteria escape by components of the innate immune system by secretion of the SP1 protein in pathogenic Streptococci, which then interacts with PGLYRP-1 from the host. Our results provide potential targets for the development of new antimicrobial drugs against bacteria with resistance to innate host immunity.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is partly responsible for hepatitis, fatty liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV core protein (HBc), encoded by the HBV genome, may play a significant role in HBV life cycle. However, the function of HBc in the occurrence and development of liver disease is still unclear. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, HBc-transfected HCC cells were characterized by multi-omics analyses. Combining proteomics and metabolomics analyses, our results showed that HBc promoted the expression of metabolic enzymes and the secretion of metabolites in HCC cells. In addition, glycolysis and amino acid metabolism were significantly up-regulated by HBc. Moreover, Max-like protein X (MLX) might be recruited and enriched by HBc in the nucleus to regulate glycolysis pathways. This study provides further insights into the function of HBc in the molecular pathogenesis of HBV-induced diseases and indicates that metabolic reprogramming appears to be a hallmark of HBc transfection.

Abstract
The first proteomic characterization of the HepaRG cell line, the only cell line that is susceptible to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and supports a complete virus life cycle, is reported. Differential analysis of naive and HBV-infected HepaRG cells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed 19 differentially regulated features, 7 increasing and 12 decreasing with HBV infection. The proteins identified in these features were involved in various cellular pathways including apoptosis, DNA/RNA processing, and hepatocellular impairment. Similar expression changes in a number of the identified proteins have already been reported for other virus systems. Identification of these expression changes is a validation of the proteomics approach and contributes to an understanding of host cellular response to HBV infection.

Abstract
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped, hepatotrophic, oncogenic hepadnavirus that is noncytopathic for hepatocytes. HBV infection results in a variety of outcomes that are determined by the quality, quantity, and kinetics of the host innate and adaptive immune responses. Whether HBV infection is cleared or persists as a progressive or nonprogressive liver disease is determined by both viral and host factors. Replicative intermediates can persist in the liver under immunologic control after resolution of acute or chronic hepatitis B, conferring a risk for reactivation following a course of immunosuppression or chemotherapy.
