Insulin resistance and the lowering of INSIG proteins and the lowered cholesterol in ER support COPII-SCAP-SREBP-HSP90α transport, but the final step of the initiation of cholesterol synthesis, the release and transport of the SREBP-N-terminal domain to the nucleus, is blocked by the virus to provide the continuation of this transport. The gene discussed is SCAP; the disease is Insulin resistance.
