Structural and nucleic acid binding properties of hepatitis delta virus small antigen

  • Autores: Alves C, Casaca A, Cheng H, Cunha C, Gudima S, Roder H, Tavanez JP
  • Ano de Publicação: 2017
  • Journal: World Journal of Virology

To further characterize the structure and nucleic acid binding properties of the 195 amino acid small delta antigen, S-HDAg, a study was made of a truncated form of S-HDAg, comprising amino acids 61-195 (∆60HDAg), thus lacking the domain considered necessary for dimerization and higher order multimerization. Circular dichroism, and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments were used […]

Proteomic changes in HEK-293 cells induced by hepatitis delta virus replication

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection greatly increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis B virus chronically infected patients. HDV is highly dependent on host factors for accomplishment of the replication cycle. However, these factors are largely unknown and the mechanisms involved in the pathogenicity of the virus still remain elusive.

BACKGROUND:
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is considered to be a satellite virus of the Hepatitis B virus. The genome consists of a 1679 nt ssRNA molecule in which a single ORF was identified.

In Vivo Interaction of the Hepatitis Delta Virus Small Antigen with the ELAV-Like Protein HuR.

  • Autores: Casaca A, Cunha C, da Cruz e Silva E, Fardilha M
  • Journal: The Open Virology Journal
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=In+vivo+interaction+of+the+hepatitis+delta+virus+small+antigen+with+the+ELAV-like+protein+HuR

The small and large delta antigens (S-HDAg and L-HDAg, respectively) represent two forms of the only protein encoded by the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA genome. Consequently, HDV relies, at a large extent, on the host cell machinery for replication and transcription.

Hepatitis delta virus infects the cells of hepadnavirus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma in woodchucks.

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a natural subviral agent of human hepatitis B virus (HBV). HDV enhances liver damage during concomitant infection with HBV. The molecular pathogenesis of HDV infection remains poorly understood. To advance our understanding of the relationship between HDV infection and liver cancer, it was determined whether HDV could infect in vivo the cells of hepadnavirus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
