Phylogenetic evidence for the improved RNA higher-order structure in internal ribosome entry sequences of HCV and pestiviruses

Abstract

The strong requirement for a small segment of the 5'-proximal coding sequence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most remarkable features in the internal initiation of HCV mRNA translation. Phylogenetic analysis and RNA folding indicate a common RNA structure of the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of HCV and the animal pestiviruses, including HCV types 1-11, bovine viral diarrhea (BVDV), border disease virus (BDV) and hog cholera (HoCV). Although the common RNA structure shares similar features to that proposed for the internal ribosome entry sequence (IRES) of picornavirus, phylogenetic evidence suggests four new tertiary interactions between conserved terminal hairpin loops and between the terminal hairpin loop of F2b and the short coding sequence for HCV and pestiviruses. We suggest that the higher-order structures of IRES cis-acting elements for HCV and animal pestivirus are composed of stem-loop structures B-C, domains E-H, stem-loop structure J and four additional tertiary interactions. The common structure of IRES elements for these viruses forms a compact structure by these tertiary interactions and stem stacking. The active structural core is centered in the junction domain of E-H that is also conserved in all members of picornaviruses. Our model suggests that the requirement for a small segment of the 5' coding sequence is to form the distinct tertiary structure that facilitates the cis-acting function of the HCV IRES in the internal initiation of the translational control.
