Inevitably, viruses depend on host factors for their multiplication. Here, we show that hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA translation and replication depends on Rck/p54, LSm1, and PatL1, which regulate the fate of cellular mRNAs from translation to degradation in the 5'-3'-deadenylation-dependent mRNA decay pathway. The requirement of these proteins for efficient HCV RNA translation was linked to the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of the viral genome. Furthermore, LSm1-7 complexes specifically ...[more]
