Little is known about the life cycle of hepatitis C virus. Determination of the subcellular
localization of HCV proteins may contribute to our understanding of the in vivo functions of …

There is now abundant evidence to substantiate an important role of hepatitis C virus (HCV)
core protein in cellular gene expression as well as in the viral cycle. Thus the subcellular …

The core protein of the hepatitis C virus is derived from the N-terminal 191 amino acids of
the viral polyprotein by proteolytic cleavage. In the current study, subcellular localizations of …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is a putative nucleocapsid protein with a number of
regulatory functions. In tissue culture cells, HCV core protein is mainly located at the …

The core (C) protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) appears to be a multifunctional protein that is
involved in many viral and cellular processes. Although its effects on host cells have been …

ABSTRACT A major function of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is the interaction with
genomic RNA to form the nucleocapsid, an essential component of the virus particle …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein has many intriguing properties as a viral factor and is
implicated in cell growth regulation. In this study, the cell growth regulation potential of HCV …

The core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is believed to form the capsid shell of virus
particles. Maturation of the protein is achieved through cleavage by host cell proteases to …

Core protein is one of the most conserved and immunogenic of the hepatitis C virus proteins.
Several pieces of experimental evidence suggest its ability for formation of virus like …

One of the characteristics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the high incidence of persistent
infection. HCV core protein, in addition to forming the viral nucleocapsid, has multiple …
