Deskripsi

The adipose-specific phospholipase A2 (PLA2G16) has been identified as a pan-enterovirus host factor. Here, the authors show that the enterovirus EV-D68-947 can bypass PLA2G16 by using sulfated glycosaminoglycans as alternative glycan receptors and that the interaction induces structural changes promoting viral genome release.
