Fig 6. Model for the biogenesis of autophagosomes induced by HCV.

Fig 6

HCV infection leads to the localization of ATG5 to the ER and the subsequent formation of phagophores, which undergo homotypic fusion in a STX7-dependent manner to form autophagosomes. Both phagophores and autophagosomes can support HCV RNA replication.
