DifferentlyEntry from HIV and HBV:

• HCV replication occursAssembly only in cytoplasm Golgi complex Fusion and Viral RNA uncoating • replication Endoplasmic Viral genome is no archived intoreticulum the NS5B genome ofNS5A infectedReplication cells NS3-NS4A complex ° Nonstructural proteins play RNA a key role in the replication NS4B and assembly of new virions Translation Processing This makes HCV curable!!!!

° Structural and nonstructural proteins contribute to different processes in the viral life cycle
