abstract：:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is dependent on NS2-3 autocleavage and NS5A phosphorylation for its life cycle. We demonstrate that NS5A, when released from the NS2-5 polyprotein of the BK virus strain, is phosphorylated as two distinct forms, pp56 and pp58. Deletion analysis indicates that the appearance of pp58 requires NS2...
