Human La Protein Interaction with GCAC near the Initiator AUG Enhances Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication by Promoting Linkage between 5′ and 3′ Untranslated Regions
4 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Human La protein has been implicated in facilitating the internal initiation of translation as well as replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA. Previously, we demonstrated that La interacts with the HCV internal ribosome entry site (IRES) around the GCAC motif near the initiator AUG within stem-loop IV by its RNA recognition motif (RRM) (residues 112 to 184) and influences HCV translation. In this study, we...
