Perturbation of de novo lipogenesis hinders MERS-CoV assembly and release, but not the biogenesis of viral replication organelles

Maria Soultsioti, Anja W. M. de Jong, Nienke J. Blomberg…·Montserrat Bárcena

This study shows that inhibiting ACC disrupts MERS-CoV particle release but not replication organelle formation, highlighting ACC as a potential antiviral target.
