Construction and Eukaryotic Expression of Recombinant Large Hepatitis Delta Antigen
Background: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a subviral human pathogen that exploits host RNA editing activity to produce two essential forms of the sole viral protein, hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg). Editing at the amber/W site of HDV antigenomic RNA leads to the production of the large form (L-HDAg), which is required for RNA packaging. Methods: In this study, PCR-based site-directed mutagen...
متن کاملLarge hepatitis delta antigen is a novel clathrin adaptor-like protein.
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a common pathway for viral entry, but little is known about the direct association of viral protein with clathrin in the cytoplasm. In this study, a putative clathrin box known to be conserved in clathrin adaptors was identified at the C terminus of the large hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg-L). Similar to clathrin adaptors, HDAg-L directly interacted with the N te...

متن کاملUnique properties of the large antigen of hepatitis delta virus.
The large form of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) protein (L) can be isoprenylated near its C terminus, and this modification is considered essential for particle assembly. Using gel electrophoresis, we separated L into two species of similar mobilities. The slower species could be labeled by the incorporation of [(14)C]mevalonolactone and is interpreted to be isoprenylated L (L(i)). In serum p...
متن کاملCharacterization of RNA-binding domains of hepatitis delta antigen.
Hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg), the only protein encoded by the hepatitis delta virus (HDV), binds specifically genomic and antigenomic strands of the HDV RNA. In a previous study, three recombinant HDAg subdomains were synthesized, covering residues 11 to 78, 79 to 163 and 164 to 212, and only the middle domain was shown to be responsible for the binding to HDV RNA. To investigate HDAg sequenc...
