The lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III alpha (PI4KIIIα) is an essential host factor of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. PI4KIIIα catalyzes the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) accumulating in HCV replicating cells due ...

Distinct Functions of NS5A in Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication Uncovered by Studies with the NS5A Inhibitor BMS-790052 [PDF]
ABSTRACT BMS-790052, targeting nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), is the most potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) inhibitor described to date. It is highly effective against genotype 1 replicons and also displays robust genotype 1 anti-HCV activity in the clinic (M. Gao et al., Nature 465:96-100, 2010).

Phosphorylation of serine 225 in hepatitis C virus NS5A regulates protein-protein interactions. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) is a phosphoprotein that plays key, yet poorly defined, roles in both virus genome replication and virion assembly/release.

The nonstructural protein NS5A has emerged as a new drug target in antiviral therapies for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection. NS5A is critically involved in viral RNA replication that takes place at newly formed membranes within the endoplasmic reticulum

BackgroundHepatitis C virus (HCV), non-structural 5A (NS5A), and non-structural 5B (NS5B) resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) are the main causes of failure to direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs).

Minimum target prices for production of direct acting antivirals and associated diagnostics to combat Hepatitis C Virus [PDF]
Combinations of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) can cure hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the majority of treatment-naïve patients. Mass treatment programs to cure HCV in developing countries are only feasible if the costs of treatment and laboratory ...

Interaction between Nonstructural Proteins NS4B and NS5A Is Essential for Proper NS5A Localization and Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication [PDF]
ABSTRACT The hepatitis C virus NS5A protein is tethered to cellular membranes via an amphipathic amino-terminal helix that is inserted in-plane into the outer endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived membrane leaflet. The charged face of the helix faces the cytoplasm and may contribute to interactions involved in replicase assembly and function ...

Retreatment of Direct Acting Agents (DAAs) After Initial DAA Failure in Hepatitis C Patients
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) and sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (SOF/LDV) are widely used as first‐line direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) regimens for chronic hepatitis C, achieving high virus eradication rates. However, a small proportion of patients experience treatment failure, and the optimal retreatment strategies for such ...

Hepatitis C virus relies on lipoproteins for its life cycle [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects over 150 million people worldwide. In most cases, HCV infection becomes chronic causing liver disease ranging from fibrosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
