To gain insight into host factor requirements for HCV replication, we performed a siRNA screen of the human kinome and identified 13 different kinases, including phosphatidylinositol-4 kinase III alpha (PI4KIIIa), as being required for HCV replication."
"Consistent with elevated levels of the PI4KIIIa product...
