Likewise, expression of siRNA-resistant EMC6 (EMC6*-FLAG) in EMC6-depleted cells fully restored the block in virus infection due to depletion of EMC6 (Fig. 1b), while expressing siRNA-resistant EMC7 (EMC7*-FLAG) in EMC7-depleted cells completely rescued the decrease in SV40 infection caused by knockdown of EMC7 (Fig. 1c). This evidence concerns the gene EMC6 and viral infectious disease.
