Data from the World Health Organization estimate that more than 250 million people around the world are chronically infected with HBV. Complications of chronic HBV infection include cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">1</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a>].</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">HBV is a small, enveloped DNA virus and a prototypic member of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Hepadnaviridae</span> family. The HBV genome is a partially double-stranded circular DNA molecule of 3.2 kb, surrounded by the viral capsid. The infection starts with the binding of HBV to its cellular receptor, the NTCP protein that localizes in the hepatocyte surface [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015">3</a>]. In the nucleus, the viral genome repairs to generate the covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) molecule that serves as a template for viral transcription [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a>]. The cccDNA organizes as a minichromosome associated with histones and non-histone proteins [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">6</a>], and its transcription depends on the cellular transcriptional machinery. In recent years, many groups have characterized how post-translational modifications on the histones associated with the cccDNA regulate viral transcription [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0035">7–16</a>]. Histone acetylation and methylation of the lysine 4 of the histone H3 (H3K4me) correlate with active viral transcription, whereas histone hypoacetylation, H3K9me and H4R3me correlate with viral repression. Consistently, chromatin-modifying enzymes that impose marks on histone proteins are recruited to cccDNA [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">7</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045">9</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065">13</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070">14</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080">16</a>].</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The incorporation of histone variants to chromatin is another way of regulating chromatin function. These are non-canonical (non-allelic) variants of histones, characterized by differences in few amino acids, and expressed at low levels compared to the canonical ones. They have specific expression, localization, and developmental pattern expression [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0085">17–19</a>]. The canonical histones H3 are H3.1 and H3.2, which express coupled to the DNA synthesis and incorporated into the chromatin during DNA replication by the histone chaperone CAF1 [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100">20</a>]. The most common H3 variant is H3.3, differing in only five amino acids compared to H3.1. This variant is expressed all through the cell cycle, and it is assembled into chromatin independently of DNA replication. H3.3 enriches at actively transcribed genes, promoters, and regulatory elements, where it is assembled by the histone chaperone HIRA [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100">20</a>]. Consistently, histone H3.3 from different species is enriched in post-translational modifications associated with transcriptional activation [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0105">21–23</a>]. However, H3.3 also accumulates at pericentric heterochromatin and telomeres [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0120">24–27</a>], and is also required for silencing endogenous retroviral elements in mouse embryonic stem cells [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140">28</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145">29</a>]. The histone chaperone Daxx/ATRX assembles H3.3 at these loci [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140">28</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0145">29</a>]. Therefore, H3.3 is involved in gene transcription and silencing. The diverse H3.3 roles are most likely linked to how it assembles into chromatin at specific genomic regions. Here, we investigated the function of the histone variant H3.3 in the HBV transcription. We found that H3.3 is assembled into the cccDNA by the histone chaperone HIRA and that this assembly correlates with increased levels of the active mark H3K4me and the activation of HBV transcription.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">2</span><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0040">Materials and methods</span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">2.1</span><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0045">Reagents and primers</span><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The following antibodies were used: anti-Flag beads (Sigma Aldrich A2220), β-actin (Millipore 04-1116), Flag (Sigma Aldrich F3165-2MG), histone H3 (Abcam ab1791), H3K4me3 (Abcam ab8580), HIRA (Abcam ab20655).

However, there are no suitable antibodies available to differentiate between H3.1 and H3.3 variants. Therefore, we exogenously expressed Flag-tagged histone H3.3 so we could purify H3.3 by Flag-immunoprecipitation (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>A) [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110">22</a>]. Overexpression of histones is harmful to the cell; therefore, we expressed the exogenous H3.3 gene under the regulation of a retroviral promoter, allowing a low expression of H3.3, representing about 8% of the endogenous variant [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110">22</a>]. The transfection efficiency was about 30% (data not shown). As shown in <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>B, we detected H3.3 with Flag antibodies. We then examined whether histone H3.3 associated with the cccDNA by Flag-ChIP (Chromatin immunoprecipitation) analysis. We found that the variant H3.3 associates to the three viral promoters analyzed: core, PreS, and HBx (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>C). We then examined if the association of H3.3 to the cccDNA results in changes in the transcriptional state of the viral cccDNA. We previously showed that the methylation of the lysine 4 of the histone H3 (H3K4me3) correlates with an active cccDNA chromatin state [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065">13</a>]. Thus, we performed ChIP analysis and observed that H3K4me3 is enriched in the viral core promoter upon expression of H3.3-Flag compared to control cells (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>D, right). We also observed reduced levels of the endogenous histone H3 at the viral core promoter upon expression of H3.3-Flag (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>D, left), consistent with the fact that actively transcribed genes have nucleosome-free promoters [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160">32</a>]. Besides, we found that both cytoplasmic viral intermediates significantly increased upon expression of H3.3-Flag (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>E). We found no changes in the cell cycle upon expression of H3.3-Flag (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>F).

The H3.3 knocked-down correlated with a significant reduction in the H3K4me3 levels, with a concomitant increase in the amount of histone H3 present on the viral core promoter (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>D). Consistently, upon H3.3 knockdown, both viral intermediates significantly decreased (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>E).

Given that therapeutic treatments for chronically infected patients are inefficient, the characterization of the molecular mechanisms by which HBV regulates its transcription is highly relevant, as it can shed light onto new therapeutic targets [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165">33</a>]. The HBV genome associates with cellular histones and utilizes cellular machineries to regulate its transcription in a chromatin context. Several studies have contributed to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulates HBV transcription in a chromatin context, mainly focusing on histone post-translational modifications and DNA methylation [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0035">7–16</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170">34</a>].</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Much effort has been spent in understanding the role that histone variants have in the regulation of chromatin dynamics.

Time-course experiments with the herpes virus, on the other hand, have shown that H3.3 is assembled into HSV-1 chromatin before the canonical variant H3.1, which is assembled into the viral chromatin when HSV-1 DNA replicates [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0180">36</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185">37</a>]. This observation is consistent with the fact that H3.1 is incorporated into the cellular chromatin coupled to DNA replication [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100">20</a>]. The incorporation of H3.3 to HSV-1 is dependent on the chaperone HIRA [<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0180">36</a>]. Further experiments should address whether the differences observed in HSV-1 and HCMV viruses regarding the dependency of DNA replication and the incorporation of H3.1 into the viral chromatin is due to intrinsic viral differences. We showed that the histone variant H3.3 is deposited into the HBV cccDNA by the histone chaperone HIRA, and that this association correlates with increased levels of the active mark H3K4me3 and with the activation of HBV transcription.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study, we utilized the HBV Genotype F, not commonly used in research.
