Variability of the nonstructural 5A protein of hepatitis C virus type 3a isolates and relation to interferon sensitivity. [PDF]
International audienceThe nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 is thought to interact with several cellular proteins, including the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) induced by interferon (IFN).

In ongoing studies towards novel hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapeutics, inhibitors of nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) were evaluated. Specifically, starting from previously reported lead compounds, peripheral substitution patterns of a series of biaryl ...

PACSIN2 Interacts with Nonstructural Protein 5A and Regulates Hepatitis C Virus Assembly. [PDF]
PACSIN2 is a lipid-binding protein that triggers the tubulation of the phosphatidic acid-containing membranes. The functional involvement of PACSIN2 in the virus life cycle has not yet been demonstrated. We showed that phosphorylation of PACSIN2 displayed a negative effect on NS5A and core interaction. The most significant finding is that NS5A prevents

The hepatitis C viral nonstructural protein 5A stabilizes growth-regulatory human transcripts. [PDF]
AbstractNumerous mammalian proto-oncogene and other growth-regulatory transcripts are upregulated in malignancy due to abnormal mRNA stabilization. In hepatoma cells expressing a hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicon, we found that the viral nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), a protein known to bind to viral RNA, also bound specifically to human ...

Resistance analysis of genotype 3 hepatitis C virus indicates subtypes inherently resistant to nonstructural protein 5A inhibitors. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (gt) 3 is highly prevalent globally, with non-gt3a subtypes common in Southeast Asia. Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) have been shown to play a role in treatment failure. However, the role of RASs in gt3 is not

Sequential S232/S235/S238 Phosphorylation of the Hepatitis C Virus Nonstructural Protein 5A. [PDF]
The nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of the hepatitis C virus was thought to undergo sequential intramolecular phosphorylation on a series of serine residues; however, direct evidence was missing. We offer the first direct evidence of a CKIα-mediated intramolecular sequential NS5A phosphorylation cascade from serine 232 through 235 to 238.

Regulation of neuronal proapoptotic potassium currents by the hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 5A. [PDF]
Apoptosis-enabling neuronal potassium efflux is mediated by an enhancement of K+ currents. In cortical neurons, increased currents are triggered by dual phosphorylation of Kv2.1 by Src and p38 at channel residues Y124 and S800. It was recently shown that a K+ current surge is also present in hepatocytes undergoing apoptosis, and that the hepatitis C ...

Essential role of cyclophilin A for hepatitis C virus replication and virus production and possible link to polyprotein cleavage kinetics. [PDF]
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and therefore their replication completely depends on host cell factors. In case of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive-strand RNA virus that in the majority of infections establishes persistence ...

Nonstructural Protein 5A Impairs DNA Damage Repair: Implications for Hepatitis C Virus-Mediated Hepatocarcinogenesis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT RAD51-associated protein 1 (RAD51AP1) is a member of the multiprotein complexes postulated to carry out RAD51-mediated homologous recombination and DNA repair in mammalian cells. In the present study, we showed that hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A directly bound RAD51AP1 and increased the protein level of RAD51AP1 through modulation of ...
