Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) catalyzes the first step in the sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway. Myriocin inhibits SPT and was shown to suppress the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in vitro and in vivo. However, its effect on hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication is unknown. In this study,

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is closely tied to the lipid metabolism of liver cells. Here we identify the triglyceride-synthesizing enzyme diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT1) as a key host factor for HCV infection. DGAT1 interacts with the viral nucleocapsid core and is required for the tr
