Hepatitis C Virus NS5B Polymerase Exhibits Distinct Nucleotide Requirements for Initiation and Elongation

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B protein is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) essential for replication of the viral RNA genome. Purified NS5B has been reported to exhibit multiple activities in vitro. Using a synthetic heteropolymeric RNA template with dideoxycytidine at its 3′-end, we examine...

description The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B protein is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) essential for replication of the viral RNA genome. Purified NS5B has been reported to exhibit multiple activities in vitro. Using a synthetic heteropolymeric RNA template with dideoxycytidine at its 3′-end, we examined de novo initiation and primer extension in a system devoid of self-priming and terminal nucleotide transferase activities. Products predominantly of template size and its multiples were detected. High concentrations of nucleoside triphosphates (Kappm ∼ 100–400 μm) corresponding to the first three incorporated nucleotides were found to be required for efficient de novo RNA synthesis. In the presence of initiating di- or trinucleotides, however, the amount of NTP needed to achieve maximal activity dropped 103- to 104-fold, revealing a much reduced nucleotide requirement for elongation (Kappm ∼ 0.03–0.09 μm). Accordingly, single round extension from an exogenous primer following preincubation of the enzyme with template and primer could also be supported by
