Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is highly dependent on cellular factors for its own propagation. By employing tandem affinity purification method, we identified pyruvate carboxylase (PC) as a cellular partner for NS5A protein. NS5A interacted with PC through the

Multiple effects of silymarin on the hepatitis C virus lifecycle [PDF]
Silymarin, an extract from milk thistle (Silybum marianum), and its purified flavonolignans have been recently shown to inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, both in vitro and in vivo.

Mutations in E2-PePHD, NS5A-PKRBD, NS5A-ISDR, and NS5A-V3 of Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1 and Their Relationships to Pegylated Interferon-Ribavirin Treatment Responses [PDF]
ABSTRACTMutations in several subgenomic regions of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been implicated in influencing the response to interferon (IFN) therapy. Sequences within HCV NS5A (PKR binding domain [PKRBD], IFN sensitivity-determining region [ISDR], and variable region 3 [V3]) were analyzed for the pretreatment serum samples of 60 HCV genotype 1 ...

Efficient Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1b Core-NS5A Recombinants Permit Efficacy Testing of Protease and NS5A Inhibitors [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains belong to seven genotypes with numerous subtypes that respond differently to antiviral therapies. Genotype 1, and primarily subtype 1b, is the most prevalent genotype worldwide. The development of recombinant HCV infectious cell culture systems for different variants, permitted by the high

Ferritin heavy chain Is the host factor responsible for HCV-Induced inhibition of apoB-100 production and is required for efficient viral infection [PDF]
Hepatic fat export occurs by apolipoprotein B-100-containing lipoprotein production, whereas impaired production leads to liver steatosis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated to dysregulation of apoB-100 secretion and steatosis; however, the ...

Charakterisierung des Lipidbindungsverhaltens und der Proteinfaltung von HCV NS5A unter Einfluss des NS5A-Inhibitors Daclatasvir [PDF]
Mit 71 Millionen chronisch erkrankten Patienten im Jahr 2015 stellt die chronische Hepatitis C-Virusinfektion eine wichtige Ursache für Zirrhose, Leberdekompensation und Leberkrebs dar. Eine grundlegende Eigenschaft des Hepatitis C-Virus (HCV) ist die Biogenese modifizierter intrazellulärer Membranen.
