AMPK/ULK1 activation downregulates TXNIP, Rab5, and Rab7 and inhibits endocytosis-mediated entry of human pathogenic viruses

Viktoria Diesendorf, Veronica La Rocca, Michelle Teutsch…·Jochen Bodem

This study shows that AMPK/ULK1 activation inhibits endocytosis and blocks viral entry by reducing key endocytic factors and endosomal markers.
