UNC team discovers interactions vital for hepatitis A virus replication

Pharmaceutical Technology

Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have discovered that hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication needs particular interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and TENT4 poly(A) polymerases, a group of enzymes. In addition, the scientists later found that the HAV needs TENT4A/B for its replication.
