Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes a persistent
infection, chronic hepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Since there
are several reports indicating that some viruses influence the tumor
suppressor p53 function, we determined the effects of HCV proteins on
p53 function and its mechanism determined by use of a reporter assay. Among seven HCV proteins investigated (core, NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B), only core protein augmented the transcriptional activity of p53 and increased the expression of
p21waf1 protein, which is a major target of
p53. Core protein increased both DNA-binding affinity of p53 in
electrophoretic morbidity shift assay and transcriptional ability of
p53 itself in a reporter assay. The direct interaction between core
protein and C terminus of p53 was also shown by glutathione
S-transferase fusion protein binding assay. In addition,
core protein interacted with hTAFII28, a component of the
transcriptional factor complex in vivo and in
vitro. These results suggest that HCV core protein interacts with
p53 and modulates p53-dependent promoter activities during HCV infection.
The nucleotide sequence of the core protein used in this paper
will appear in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank nucleotide sequence data bases
with the accession number AB037249.
