SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein induces LC3 lipidation via the V-ATPase-ATG16L1 axis

Carmen Figueras-Novoa, Lewis Timimi, Elena Marcassa…·Rupert C. L. Beale

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 E protein induces LC3 lipidation through the V-ATPase-ATG16L1 axis, which supports viral replication rather than inhibiting it.

Tissue-specific and interferon-inducible expression of non-functional ACE2 through endogenous retrovirus co-option

Kevin W. Ng, Jan Attig, William Bolland…·George Kassiotis

The paper identifies a novel ACE2 isoform, LTR16A1-ACE2, induced by interferon, which is non-functional and does not enhance SARS-CoV-2 infection.
