Figure 2. siRNA Screen Uncovers MARCH8 as an E3 Ligase Required for HCV Infection.
HCV (pFL-J6/JFH(p7-Rluc2A)) infection (multiplicity of infection [MOI] of 0.1) relative to NT control after siRNA-mediated knockdown of E3 ligases identified as NS2 interactors in the HT-GPCAs screen, measured via luciferase assays at 72 hr after infection in Huh7.5.1 cells and normalized to cell viability. Data are pooled from two independent experiments with 8 replicates each. Shown are means ± SD; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 relative to NT control by 1-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test.
