The genome consists of a 1679 nt ssRNA molecule in which a single ORF was identified. This ORF codes for a unique protein, the Delta antigen (HDAg). During transcription, two forms, small (S-HDAg; p24) and large (L-HDAg; p27) of this antigen are derived as a result of an editing mechanism catalyzed by cellular adenosine deaminase 1. Despite its simplicity, little is still known about the host factors that interact with the virus RNA and antigens being to modulate virus replication.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A yeast two-hybrid screening of a human liver cDNA library, using the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) small antigen (S-HDAg) as bait, was performed. Blot overlay and co-immunoprecipitation assays were used in an attempt to confirm the interaction of hnRNPC and S-HDAg. siRNA knockdown assays of hnRNPC were performed to assess the effect on HDV antigen expression.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Thirty known proteins were identified as S-HDAg interactors in the yeast two-hybrid screening. One of the identified proteins, hnRNPC, was found to interact with S-HDAg <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> in human liver cells. The interaction of the two proteins is mediated by the C-terminal half of the S-HDAg which contains a RNA-binding domain (aa 98-195). HDV RNA, S-HDAg, and hnRNPC, were also found to co-localize in the nucleus of human liver cells. Knockdown of hnRNPC mRNA using siRNAs resulted in a marked decreased expression of HDV antigens.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>S-HDAg was found to interact with human liver proteins previously assigned to different functional categories. Among those involved in nucleic acid metabolism, hnRNPC was found to interact <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> in human liver cells. Similar to other RNA viruses, it seems plausible that hnRNPC may also be involved in HDV replication. However, further investigation is mandatory to clarify this question.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1743-422x-8-358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,20]],"date-time":"2011-07-20T18:20:23Z","timestamp":1311186023000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The heterogeneous ribonuclear protein C interacts with the hepatitis delta virus small antigen"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Casaca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Margarida","family":"Fardilha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Edgar","family":"da Cruz e Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Celso","family":"Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"1478_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1038\/317489a0","volume":"317","author":"P Tiollais","year":"1985","unstructured":"Tiollais P, Pourcel C, Dejean A: The hepatitis B virus.
