HCV infection, IFN response and the coding and non-coding host cell genome
2016, Virus ResearchCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, hnRNPA1 binds HCV NS5B and the 5′ and 3′UTR of the HCV genome and is required for viral replication (Kim et al., 2007). Similarly, PTB binds to the IRES and the 3′UTR of HCV (Chung and Kaplan, 1999) and it has been described to be required for HCV translation (Ali and Siddiqui, 1995) and replication (Aizaki et al., 2006; Chang and Luo, 2006). However, controversy exists over the role of PTB in HCV translation and replication has not been reproducibly observed (Brocard et al., 2007; Tischendorf et al., 2004).
Identification of proteins that mediate the pro-viral functions of the interferon stimulated gene 15 in hepatitis C virus replication
2013, Antiviral ResearchCitation Excerpt :Hnrnps are RNA-binding proteins, that shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and have been identified to bind the HCV IRES (internal ribosom entry side) to support translation: HnrnpA1 (Kim et al., 2007), HnrnpD (Paek et al., 2008), HnrnpE2/PCBP2 (Fukushi et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2011), HnrnpL (Hwang et al., 2009) and HnrnpM (Yao et al., 2011). Some of these proteins additionally bind to the 3′UTR of HCV: HnrnpA1 (Kim et al., 2007), HnrnpE2/PCBP2 (Wang et al., 2011), HnrnpI/PTB (Chung and Kaplan, 1999), HnrnpL (Hwang et al., 2009) and HnrnpC (Gontarek et al., 1999). Thereby playing an important role in initiation and regulation of HCV RNA replication via the viral RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase NS5b, which itself is directly interacting with HnrnpA1 as well (Kim et al., 2007).
Regulation of hepatitis C virus translation initiation by iron: Role of eIF3 and La protein
2012, Virus ResearchCitation Excerpt :HCV IRES can functionally replace the eIF4F protein complex (eIF4E, eIF4G, and eIF4A), and therefore translation initiation of HCV requires just two of the canonical initiation factors, eIF2 and eIF3, for correct positioning of the initiator tRNA during cap-independent initiation (Cai et al., 2010). Several cellular RNA-binding proteins, including La protein (Ali and Siddiqui, 1997), polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTBP) (Ali and Siddiqui, 1995), heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (RNPL) (Chung and Kaplan, 1999), poly(rC)-binding protein (PCBP)-2 (Spångberg and Schwartz, 1999), and ribosomal protein S9 (Pestova et al., 1998), have been implicated in efficient HCV IRES-dependent translation. Clinical evidences have found that patients with hepatic iron overload have a poor response to treatment with IFN-α (Fujita et al., 2007).
Inhibition of translation initiation factors might be the potential therapeutic targets for HCV patients with hepatic iron overload
2012, Medical HypothesesCitation Excerpt :Just two canonical initiation factors, eIF2 and eIF3, are required for correct positioning of the initiator tRNA during cap-independent initiation [19]. Many noncanonical translation initiation factors (NCTFs), such as La protein [20], polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) [21], heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (RNPL) [22], poly(rC)-binding protein (PCBP)-2 [23], and ribosomal protein S9 [24], also interact with HCV IRES and might regulate viral translation. In the host, iron overload can lead to a variety of cellular toxicity and tissue damage, but the mechanism remains unclear.
Hepatitis C virus is restricted at both entry and replication in mouse hepatocytes
2009, Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :It is very plausible that host factors and other HCV viral proteins are also required in this RNA replication process. Several cellular proteins such as polypyrimidine track-binding protein (PTB) have been identified to be involved [22–24]. The conserved nature of these known host proteins does not seem to provide any insights into the significant difference of HCV replication that we showed between human and mouse cells in this study.
