Coxsackievirus can exploit LC3 in both autophagy-dependent and -independent manners in vivo

Abstract excerpt

RNA viruses modify intracellular membranes to produce replication scaffolds. In pancreatic cells, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) hijacks membranes from the autophagy pathway, and in vivo disruption of acinar cell autophagy dramatically delays CVB3 replication. This is reversed by expression of GFP-LC3, indicating that CVB3 may acquire membranes from an alternative, autophagy-independent, source(s). Herein, using 3...
