We expressed a series of C-terminal deletion mutants in Huh-7 cells KO for OCLN and characterized their functionality in HCV infection and trafficking. Deleting the OCLN cytosolic domain led to protein instability and intracellular retention. The first 15 residues (OCLN-C15 mutant) of the cytosolic domain were sufficient for OCLN stability, but led to its accumulation in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) due to a deficient cell surface export after synthesis. In contrast, the OCLN-C18 mutant, containing the first 18 residues of the cytosolic domain, was expressed at the cell surface and could mediate HCV infection. Point mutations in the context of C18 showed that I279 and W281 are crucial residues for cell surface expression of OCLN-C18. However, in the context of full-length OCLN, mutation of these residues only partially affected infection and cell surface localization. Importantly, the characterization of OCLN-C18 in human-polarized hepatocytes revealed a defect in its TJ localization without affecting HCV infection. These data suggest that TJ localization of OCLN is not a prerequisite for HCV infection in polarized hepatocytes.Show less >
