Amphipathic helix-dependent localization of NS5A mediates hepatitis C virus RNA replication
Amphipathic helix-dependent localization of NS5A mediates hepatitis C virus RNA replication JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY Elazar, M., Cheong, K. H., Liu, P., Greenberg, H. B., Rice, C. M., Glenn, J. S. 2003; 77 (10): 6055-6061Abstract
We identified an N-terminal amphipathic helix (AH) in one of hepatitis C virus (HCV)'s nonstructural proteins, NS5A. This AH is necessary and sufficient for membrane localization and is conserved across isolates. Genetically disrupting the AH impairs HCV replication. Moreover, an AH peptide-mimic inhibits the membrane association of NS5A in a dose-dependent manner. These results have exciting implications for the HCV life cycle and novel antiviral strategies.
