pubmed:abstractText |
Japanese studies have defined the discrete 2209-2248 amino acid region of the non-structural 5A protein (NS5A(2209-2248)) of hepatitis C virus genotype 1b (HCV 1b) isolates as the interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR). European studies did not confirm these results since most of the ISDR sequences harboured an intermediate profile. Recently, a direct interaction between the NS5A protein, involving the ISDR, and the interferon-induced protein kinase (PKR) has been reported and presented as a possible explanation of HCV interferon resistance. In the present study, the entire NS5A amino acid sequence from 11 resistant and eight sensitive strains from European HCV 1b isolates was inferred from direct sequencing. The previously described important amino acid stretches and positions in NS5A were compared between the resistant and sensitive groups. Although some variations were observed, no clear differences could be directly correlated with the interferon sensitivity. However, sensitive strains were different, owing to more amino acid changes when compared to a consensus sequence from all strains. The carboxy-terminal region and especially the previously reported NS5A/V3 region showed most of the variations. Moreover, the conformational analysis of NS5A by secondary structure prediction allowed the differentiation of most sensitive strains from resistant ones. It was concluded that other regions different from ISDR were involved in resistance to interferon maybe via the interaction between NS5A and PKR.
