Hepatitis C Virus Subgenomic Replicon Requires an Active NS3 RNA Helicase
13 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Mutations were introduced into the NS3 helicase region of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) Con1 subgenomic replicon to ascertain the role of the helicase in viral replication. One new replicon lacked two-thirds of the NS3 helicase (Deltahel), and six others contained one of the following six amino acid substitutions in NS3: R393A, F438A, T450I, E493K, W501A, and W501F. It has been previously reported that purified...
