RNA-Binding Protein hnRNP D Modulates Internal Ribosome Entry Site-Dependent Translation of Hepatitis C Virus RNA
8 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major causative agents of virus-related hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in humans. Translation of the HCV polyprotein is mediated by an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) in the 5' nontranslated region of the genome. Here, we report that a cellular protein, hnRNP D, interacts with the 5' border of HCV IRES (stem-loop II) and promotes translation of...
