While focusing on the viral replication cycle in the hepatitis A virus (HAV), UNC School of Medicine scientists recently discovered that replication requires specific interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and a group of enzymes called TENT4 poly(A) polymerases.
They also found that the oral compound RG7834 stopped replication at a critical step, making it impossible for the virus to infect liver cells.
