drug development | NS3 protease domain and minimal NS4A cofactor are sufficient to inhibit antiviral signaling through retinoic acid-inducible gene-I and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 and block activation of the downstream transcription factors interferon regulatory factor-3 and nuclear factor kappaB, accomplished by protease domain targeting and cleavage of interferon promoter stimulator-1. NS3-4A protease inhibitor therapy of hepatitis C virus infection can effectively remove the NS3-4A blockade to the innate immune response, restoring retinoic acid-inducible gene-I signaling to interferon promoter stimulator-1 and activation of IFN-stimulated gene expression in infected cells | Hepacivirus C |

additional information | NS3 mutants lacking the helicase domain retained the ability to control virus signaling initiated by retinoic acid-inducible gene-I or melanoma differentiation antigen 5 and suppress the downstream activation of interferon regulatory factor-3 and nuclear factor kappaB through the targeted proteolysis of interferon promoter stimulator-1. Regulation is abrogated by truncation of the NS3 protease domain or by point mutations that ablate protease activity | Hepacivirus C |
