[Update on hepatitis G virus].

Abstract

HEPATITIS G VIRUS: The hepatitis G virus is an RNA virus with a genomic organization and variability similar to the hepatitis C virus but with a much different pathogenic power which remains to be elucidated. HEPATITIS G: No cases of chronic hepatitis have been observed. Coinfections with HCV and HIV do occur but do not aggravate the prognosis. Anti E2 antibodies are found in the serum and correspond to elimination and neutralization of the HVG genome. There is a high prevalence in transplant recipients (31%), but no modification in liver or kidney grafts has been reported.

De novo initiation of viral RNA-dependent RNA synthesis.

RNA viruses use several initiation strategies to ensure that their RNAs are synthesized in appropriate amounts, have correct termini, and can be translated efficiently. Many viruses with genomes of single-stranded positive-, negative-, and double-stranded RNA initiate RNA synthesis by a de novo (primer-independent) mechanism. This review summarizes biochemical features and variations of de novo initiation in viral RNA replication.
