DDX3 DEAD-Box RNA Helicase Is Required for Hepatitis C Virus RNA Replication

Abstract: DDX3, a DEAD-box RNA helicase, binds to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein. However, the role(s) of DDX3 in HCV replication is still not understood. Here we demonstrate that the accumulation of both genome-length HCV RNA (HCV-O, genotype 1b) and its replicon RNA were significantly suppressed in HuH-7-derived cells expressing short hairpin RNA targeted to DDX3 by lentivirus vector transduction. As well, RNA replication of JFH1 (genotype 2a) and release of the core into the culture supernatants were suppre… Show more

“…DDX3 couples with the HCV core protein in HCVinfected cells and promotes viral replication [22]. This alternative function of DDX3 is accelerated by the HCV core protein, since the core protein withdraws DDX3 from the IFN-b-inducing facility, leading to suppression of IFN-b induction and positive regulation of HCV propagation in infected cells.…”

“…DEAD-box helicases are involved in a large variety of cellular processes involving RNA, such as splicing, mRNA export, transcriptional and translational regulation, RNA decay and ribosome biogenesis [3]. In recent years, DDX3 has received a lot of interest because of several studies showing its manipulation by viruses that pose major global health threats, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) [4], Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) [5][6][7][8] and poxviruses [9]. Due to the finding that HIV and HCV seem to require DDX3 for their replication [4,8], the inhibition of DDX3 has been suggested as a novel therapeutic strategy for the development of drugs against these viruses [10].…”
