Cholesterol shuttling is important for RNA replication of coxsackievirus B 3 and encephalomyocarditis virus

Abstract excerpt

Picornaviruses are a family of positive-strand RNA viruses that includes important human and animal pathogens. Upon infection, picornaviruses induce an extensive remodelling of host cell membranes into replication organelles (ROs), which is critical for replication. Membrane lipids and lipid remodelling processes are at the base of RO formation, yet their involvement remains largely obscure. Recently,...
