The hepatitis C virus (HCV)
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), represented by
nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B), is believed to form a
membrane-associated RNA replication complex together with other
nonstructural proteins and as yet unidentified host components.
However, the determinants for membrane association of this essential
viral enzyme have not been defined. By double label immunofluorescence
analyses, NS5B was found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or an
ER-like modified compartment both when expressed alone or in the
context of the entire HCV polyprotein. The carboxyl-terminal 21 amino
acid residues were necessary and sufficient to target NS5B or a
heterologous protein to the cytosolic side of the ER membrane. This
hydrophobic domain is highly conserved among 269 HCV isolates analyzed
and predicted to form a transmembrane -helix. Association of NS5B
with the ER membrane occurred by a posttranslational mechanism that was
ATP-independent. These features define the HCV RdRp as a new member of
the tail-anchored protein family, a class of integral membrane proteins
that are membrane-targeted posttranslationally via a carboxyl-terminal
insertion sequence. Formation of the HCV replication complex,
therefore, involves specific determinants for membrane association that
represent potential targets for antiviral intervention.
