Significance of Cellular Lipid Metabolism for the Replication of Rotaviruses and Other RNA Viruses
2024
Ulrich Desselberger
The replication of species A rotaviruses (RVAs) involves the recruitment of and interaction with cellular organelles’ lipid droplets (LDs), both physically and functionally. The inhibition of enzymes involved in the cellular fatty acid biosynthesis pathway or the inhibition of cellular lipases that degrade LDs was found to reduce the functions of ‘viral factories’ (viroplasms for rotaviruses or replication compartments of other RNA viruses) and decrease the production of infectious progeny viruses. While many other RNA viruses utilize cellular lipids for their replication, their detailed analysis is far beyond this review; only a few annotations are made relating to hepatitis C virus (HCV), enteroviruses, SARS-CoV-2, and HIV-1.
