Forexample, infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) was associated withtranscriptional upregulation of septins that, in turn, underwent filamentassembly to regulate lipid droplet growth (245), and SEPT2 and SEPT6 have been implicated in supporting HCVreplication (245), suggesting thatseptins can play antiviral or proviral roles (244). Here, SEPTIN6 is linked to infection.
