Hepatitis C virus controls interferon production through PKR activation.

Hepatitis C virus controls interferon production through PKR activation.

Hepatitis C virus is a poor inducer of interferon (IFN), although its structured viral RNA can bind the RNA helicase RIG-I, and activate the IFN-induction pathway. Low IFN induction has been attributed to HCV NS3/4A protease-mediated cleavage of the mitochondria-adapter MAVS. Here, we have investiga...
