Hepatitis C virus ARFP/F protein interacts with cellular MM-1 protein and enhances the gene trans-activation activity of c-Myc.

Abstract:

:The ARFP/F protein is synthesized from the +1 reading frame of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein gene. The function of this protein remains unknown. To study the function of the HCV ARFP/F protein, we have conducted the yeast two-hybrid screening experiment to identify cellular proteins that may interact with the ARFP/F protein. MM-1, a c-Myc interacting protein, was found to interact with HCV ARFP/F protein in this experiment. The physical interaction between ARFP/F and MM-1 proteins was further confirmed by the GST pull-down assay, the co-immunoprecipitation assay and confocal microscopy. As MM-1 can inhibit the gene transactivation activity of c-Myc, we have conducted further analysis to examine the possible effect of the ARFP/F protein on c-Myc. Our results indicate that the HCV ARFP/F protein can enhance the gene trans-activation activity of c-Myc, apparently by antagonizing the inhibitory effect of MM-1. The ability of the ARFP/F protein to enhance the activity of c-Myc raises the possibility that ARFP/F protein might play a role in hepatocellular transformation in HCV patients.
