[Hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 5B; HCV NS5B protein; NS5B protein] This protein is a non-structural protein contained within the viral polyprotein encoded by the genome of the positive-strand RNA virus Hepatitis C virus. The protein is a viral RNA polymerase (HCV replicase, HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase), the central catalytic enzyme in HCV RNA replication (Behrens et al, 1996)
Moriyama et al (2007) have reported that NS5B can activate the IFN-beta promoter and this requires the enzymatic activity of the protein. Activation of the IFN-beta promoter by NS5B requires the positive regulatory domain III, a binding sequence for IRF3 [interferon regulatory factor-3
