A Human Proteome Microarray Identifies that the Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) Recognizes the 5′ Terminal Sequence of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA

Abstract excerpt

Stem-loop I (SL1) located in the 5' untranslated region of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome initiates binding to miR-122, a microRNA required for hepatitis HCV replication. However, proteins that bind SL1 remain elusive. In this study, we employed a human proteome microarray, comprised of ∼17,000 individually purified human proteins in full-length, and identified 313 proteins that recognize HCV SL1....
