Gilead Sciences and Beryllium Publish the Structural Basis for HCV RNA Replication in Science
Business Wire - Thu Feb 12, 1:05PM CST
In this week's issue of Science, researchers at Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:GILD) and Beryllium reveal new details about how the hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicates its genome. HCV is estimated to affect 150-200 million people worldwide and is the major cause of liver transplantation in the US. HCV uses RNA as genetic material which must be replicated in order to propagate the viral infection. Appleby et al. determined high resolution X-ray crystal structures of the HCV polymerase during the process of RNA replication, shedding light on the replication complex after 15 years of speculation. These molecular snap-shots unveil the NS5B catalytic mechanism in successive steps from the opening of the fist-like polymerase through the rapid RNA polymerization stage known as elongation. "For the first time we can see at the atomic level how the HCV polymerase interacts with the genomic RNA template, replicating RNA, and nucleotide substrates," said corresponding author Thomas Edwards of Beryllium.
