MAP-kinase regulated cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity is essential for production of infectious hepatitis C virus particles.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has infected around 160 million individuals. Current therapies have limited efficacy and are fraught with side effects. To identify cellular HCV dependency factors, possible therapeutic targets, we manipulated signaling cascades with pathway-specific inhibitors. Using this ap...
