Missing link in replication process of coronaviruses identified by LUMC researchers
Coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 drastically remodel infected cells by building special membrane structures that accommodate virus replication. LUMC researchers previously discovered that the genome of the virus is copied in these replication organelles. These structures seemed to be completely sealed, which made it puzzling how the newly made genomes could leave this compartment. Using electron microscopy, the researchers found a passage that is formed by a large viral protein. This structure is a potential new starting point for the development of antiviral drugs. The study is published in Science.
