Abstract excerpt
Nonstructural 5A protein (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is localized in the cytoplasm although it has a functional nuclear localization signal. To clarify the determinant of NS5A cytoplasmic localization, various N- or C-terminal deleted NS5A mutants were generated and their subcellular localization was analyzed in cell lines after transient expression. N-terminal deleted forms of NS5A were localized in the...
