Genome-wide RNAi Screen Identifies SEC61A and VCP as Conserved Regulators of Sindbis Virus Entry
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Alphaviruses are a large class of insect-borne human pathogens and little is known about the host-factor requirements for infection. To identify such factors, we performed a genome-wide RNAi screen using model Drosophila cells and validated 94 genes that impacted infection of Sindbis virus (SINV), the prototypical alphavirus. We identified a conserved role for SEC61A and valosin-containing protein (VCP) in...
