Specific Cleavage of Hepatitis C Virus RNA Genome by Human RNase P
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
We have found that RNase P from HeLa cells specifically and efficiently cleaves hepatitis C virus (HCV) transcripts in vitro. The evidence includes identification of the 5'-phosphate polarity of the newly generated termini at position A(2860) as well as immunological and biochemical assays. Active cleavage has been shown in five dominant sequences of HCV "quasispecies" differing at or near the position of...
