Host APOBEC3G Protein Inhibits HCV Replication through Direct Binding at NS3

Abstract excerpt

Human APOBEC3G (hA3G) is a cytidine deaminase that restricts replication of certain viruses. We have previously reported that hA3G was a host restriction factor against hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication, and hA3G stabilizers showed a significant inhibitory activity against HCV. However, the molecular mechanism of hA3G against HCV remains unknown. We show in this study that hA3G's C-terminal directly binds HCV...
