AMFR-mediated Flavivirus NS2A ubiquitination subverts ER-phagy to augment viral pathogenicity
6 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Flaviviruses strategically utilize the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in their replication cycles. However, the role of ER autophagy (ER-phagy) in viral replication process remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal that prolonged Zika virus (ZIKV) infection results from the degradation of ER-phagy receptor FAM134B, facilitated by viral NS2A protein. Mechanistically, ER-localized NS2A undergoes K48-linked...
