Hepatitis C virus (HCV) recruits two molecules of the liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-122) to the 5' end of its genome. This interaction promotes viral RNA accumulation, but the precise mechanism(s) remain incompletely understood. Previous studies suggest that miR-122 is able to protect the HCV genome from 5' exonucleases (Xrn1/2), but this protection is not sufficient to account for the effect of miR-122 on HCV RNA accumulation.
