Replication of subgenomic hepatitis C virus RNAs in a hepatoma cell line.
An estimated 170 million persons worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major cause of chronic liver disease. Despite increasing knowledge of genome structure and individual viral… Expand

Cardif is an adaptor protein in the RIG-I antiviral pathway and is targeted by hepatitis C virus
Antiviral immunity against a pathogen is mounted upon recognition by the host of virally associated structures. One of these viral ‘signatures’, double-stranded (ds) RNA, is a replication product of… Expand

The lipid droplet is an important organelle for hepatitis C virus production
The lipid droplet (LD) is an organelle that is used for the storage of neutral lipids. It dynamically moves through the cytoplasm, interacting with other organelles, including the endoplasmic… Expand

Replication of hepatitis C virus.
Infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease. HCV is an enveloped plus-strand RNA virus closely related to flavi- and pestiviruses. The first cloning of the… Expand

Enhancement of Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication by Cell Culture-Adaptive Mutations
ABSTRACT Studies of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication cycle have been made possible with the development of subgenomic selectable RNAs that replicate autonomously in cultured cells. In these… Expand

Construction and characterization of infectious intragenotypic and intergenotypic hepatitis C virus chimeras.
Chronic liver disease caused by infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an important global health problem that currently affects 170 million people. A major impediment in HCV research and drug… Expand

Three-Dimensional Architecture and Biogenesis of Membrane Structures Associated with Hepatitis C Virus Replication
All positive strand RNA viruses are known to replicate their genomes in close association with intracellular membranes. In case of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a member of the family Flaviviridae,… Expand

Mutations in Hepatitis C Virus RNAs Conferring Cell Culture Adaptation
ABSTRACT As an initial approach to studying the molecular replication mechanisms of hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major causative agent of acute and chronic liver disease, we have recently developed… Expand

Identification of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication Complex in Huh-7 Cells Harboring Subgenomic Replicons
ABSTRACT Formation of a membrane-associated replication complex, composed of viral proteins, replicating RNA, and altered cellular membranes, is a characteristic feature of plus-strand RNA viruses.… Expand

Kissing-Loop Interaction in the 3′ End of the Hepatitis C Virus Genome Essential for RNA Replication
ABSTRACT The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae. Its genome carries at either end highly conserved nontranslated regions (NTRs) containing cis-acting… Expand
