SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a Drives Mitochondrial Dysfunction via PDK4 Activation and Complex I Inhibition
2025-09-25
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 reprograms host metabolism to promote viral replication and evade immune responses. While infection is known to impair mitochondrial function and enhance glycolysis, the role of viral accessory proteins in these alterations remains unclear. Here, we investigate the metabolic impact of the accessory protein ORF7a. Lentiviral expression of ORF7a in human lung epithelial (A549) and monocytic (THP1) cells,...
