Physical and functional interaction between hepatitis C virus NS5A protein and ovarian tumor protein deubiquitinase 7B
26 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A protein plays crucial roles in viral RNA replication, virus assembly, and viral pathogenesis. Although NS5A has no known enzymatic activity, it modulates various cellular pathways through interaction with cellular proteins. HCV NS5A (and other HCV proteins) are reportedly degraded through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway; however, the physiological roles of ubiquitylation and...
