Intact sphingomyelin biosynthetic pathway is essential for intracellular transport of influenza virus glycoproteins

Cells genetically deficient in sphingomyelin synthase-1 (SGMS1) or blocked in their synthesis pharmacologically through exposure to a serine palmitoyltransferase inhibitor (myriocin) show strongly reduced surface display of influenza virus glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA).
