Hepatitis C virus contains a second open reading frame within the core gene, designated core+1/ARF. Here we demonstrate for the first time expression of core+1/ARF protein in the context of a bicistronic JFH1-based replicon and report the production of two isoforms, core+1/L (long) and core+1/S (short), with different kinetics.
丙型肝炎病毒在核心基因内含有第二个开放阅读框,命名为core+1/ARF。在此,我们首次证明了core+1/ARF蛋白在基于JFH1的双顺反子复制子环境中的表达,并报告了两种具有不同动力学的异构体core+1/L(长型)和core+1/S(短型)的产生。
