Proline-Rich Hypervariable Region of Hepatitis E Virus: Arranging the Disorder

Proline-Rich Hypervariable Region of Hepatitis E Virus: Arranging the Disorder

The hepatitis E virus (HEV) hypervariable region (HVR) presents the highest divergence of the entire HEV genome. It is characteristically rich in proline, and so is also known as the “polyproline region” (PPR). HEV genotype 3 (HEV-3) exhibits different PPR lengths due to insertions, PPR and/or RNA-d...
