Abstract excerpt
A virus-encoded serine proteinase mediates four site-specific cleavages in the hepatitis C virus polyprotein. In addition to the catalytic domain, which is located in the N-terminal one-third of nonstructural protein NS3, the 54-residue NS4A protein is required for cleavage at some but not all sites. Here, we provide evidence for a non-ionic detergent-stable interaction between NS4A and the NS3 serine proteinase...
