Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A (1b, Con1) protein accepts covalent ISG15 conjugation at specific lysine (Lys) residues (K44, K68, K166, K215 and K308), exhibiting proviral effects on HCV RNA replication. Here we investigated a role of NS5A-ISGylation via Lys residues in HCV propagation using HCV infectious clone. The alignment of amino acid sequences revealed that 5 Lys residues (K20,...
