Effects of HCV replicons or HCV nonstructural proteins on eIF-2α phosphorylation levels in cells with or without PKR. (A) FCA4 cells with HCV replicons have lower levels of eIF-2α phosphorylation. Top panel, Huh7 and FCA4 cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot analysis using anti-eIF-2α serum specific to phosphoserine-51. Bottom panel, Western blot analysis of Huh7 and FCA4 cell lysates with antiserum reactive with all forms of eIF-2α. (B) NS5A stimulates eIF-2α phosphorylation in PKR knockout cells (PKR0/0). Western blot analysis of eIF-2α phosphoprotein from PKR0/0 transfected with pCMV (lane 1), pCNS5A (lane 2), and pCMV/3010 (lane 3) expression vectors.
