متن کاملCell biology at the host–microbe interface
Manipulation of membrane dynamics Nihal Altan-Bonnet (National Institutes of Health) described positive-sense RNA enteroviruses that manipulate the host to generate phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and cholesterol-rich membrane platforms for efficient viral replication. The enzyme PI4KIIIβ is hijacked by the enteroviral protein 3A to generate new pools of PI4P at these membrane platforms...
