Outline of Final Research Achievements

To investigate the functional role of 5' untranslated region (5’UTR) of the genome RNA in the replication of hepatitis E virus (HEV), various 5’UTR mutants were constructed and their full-length RNA were transfected into PLC/PRF/5 cells, Influence of 5’UTR mutations on replication efficiency was evaluated by various methods such as real-time RT-PCR. All HEV mutants lacking secondary structure in the 5’UTR could not grow in cells, indicating that the secondary structure of the 5’UTR plays an essential role for viral replication. In addition, some mutants with mutations in stem and/or bulge structures replicated less efficiently, suggesting that the primary structure of the 5’UTR is also important for active replication of HEV.
