Résumé
Background: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3-4A protease isnot only an essential component of the viral replication complexand a prime target for antiviral intervention but also a key playerin the persistence and pathogenesis of HCV. It cleaves andthereby inactivates two crucial adaptor proteins in viral RNAsensing and innate immunity (MAVS and TRIF) as well as aphosphatase involved in growth factor signaling (TC-PTP). Theaim of this ongoing study is to identify novel cellular targets ofthe NS3-4A protease.Methods: Cell lines inducibly expressing the NS3-4A proteasewere established using a tetracycline-regulated geneexpression system. Cells were analyzed in basal as well asinterferon-α-stimulated states. Two-dimensional difference gelelectrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and stable isotopic labeling usingamino acids in cell culture (SILAC) proteomics analysescoupled with mass spectrometry were employed to search forcellular substrates of NS3-4A.Results: A number of candidate cellular targets have beenidentified by these proteomics approaches. These are currentlybeing validated by different experimental techniques. In parallel,we are in the process of further defining the determinants forsubstrate specificity of the NS3-4A protease.Conclusions: The identification of novel cellular targets of theHCV NS3-4A protase should yield new insights into thepathogenesis of hepatitis C and may reveal novel targets forantiviral intervention.
