Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we investigated the role of ubiquitin-proteasome system in HBV replication. We identified DDX1(ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX1) as a novel HBx-interacting protein using a tandem affinity purification method and demonstrated that DDX1 enhanced HBV RNA transcription. Furthermore, the ATPase domain of DDX1 was responsible for the enhancement of HBV replication. These results suggest that DDX1 could be an attractive therapeutic target for inhibiting HBV pathogenesis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

B型肝炎ウイルスは既存の内服薬により増殖を抑えることが可能だが、長期投与による薬剤耐性株の出現と薬剤中止による肝炎再燃が大きな問題となっており、新規抗ウイルス薬の開発が求められている。本研究ではタンパク分解系であるユビキチン・プロテアソーム系のB型肝炎ウイルス複製における役割を検討することにより、ウイルスの増殖に関与する宿主タンパクを同定し得た。本研究の新規治療法の開発への寄与が期待される。
