Hepatitis C virus RNA replication depends on specific cis- and trans-acting activities of viral nonstructural proteins.

Many positive-strand RNA viruses encode genes that can function in trans, whereas other genes are required in cis for genome replication. The mechanisms underlying trans- and cis-preferences are not fully understood. Here, we evaluate this concept for hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important cause of c...
