Autophagy‐linked plasma and lysosomal membrane protein PLAC8 is a key host factor for SARS‐CoV‐2 entry into human cells

Abstract excerpt

Better understanding on interactions between SARS‐CoV‐2 and host cells should help to identify host factors that may be targetable to combat infection and COVID‐19 pathology. To this end, we have conducted a genome‐wide CRISPR/Cas9‐based loss‐of‐function screen in human lung cancer cells infected with SARS‐CoV‐2‐pseudotyped lentiviruses. Our results recapitulate many findings from previous screens that used full...
