Poly(C)-binding protein interacts with the hepatitis C virus 5' untranslated region.
We have investigated whether poly(C)-binding protein (PCBP)-1 and PCBP-2 interact with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) 5' untranslated region. Our results demonstrate that glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PCBP-1 and GST-PCBP-2 fusion proteins bind specifically to the HCV 5' untranslated region. An antiserum raised against PCBP-2 induced a supershift after incubation with RNA-protein complexes formed...
متن کاملPolyC-Binding Protein 1 Interacts with 5′-Untranslated Region of Enterovirus 71 RNA in Membrane-Associated Complex to Facilitate Viral Replication
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), which may lead to severe neurological disorders and mortality in children. EV71 genome is a positive single-stranded RNA containing a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR) and 3'UTR. The 5'UTR is fundamentally important for virus replication by interacting with cellular prot...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus 39X Region Interacts with Human Ribosomal Proteins
To identify proteins that can bind the 3* untranslated region (UTR) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) we screened human cDNA libraries using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae three-hybrid system. Screening with an RNA sequence derived from the 3*-terminal 98 nucleotides (3*X region) of an infectious clone of HCV (H77c) yielded clones of human ribosomal proteins L22, L3, S3, and mL3, a mitochondrial homolog...
متن کاملDirect detection of circulating hepatitis C virus RNA using probes from the 5' untranslated region.
Diagnostic testing for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection currently is based on the presence of anti-HCV antibodies or a positive HCV RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. Although HCV RNA PCR is a sensitive and specific technique, widespread application is limited. Moreover, HCV RNA PCR is subject to false-positive reactions through contamination and is inherently difficult to standardize a...
متن کاملDifferences between hepatitis C virus 5' untranslated region quasispecies in serum and liver.
It is unclear whether the sequence populations of hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies in the liver and in serum are different, as a variety of studies on this subject provide conflicting results. In the current study, the populations of HCV 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) sequences in paired serum and liver samples from six patients with chronic hepatitis were analysed. Liver-derived, negative...
