Key interplay between the co-opted sorting nexin-BAR proteins and PI3P phosphoinositide in the formation of the tombusvirus replicase.

Positive-strand RNA viruses replicate in host cells by forming large viral replication organelles, which harbor numerous membrane-bound viral replicase complexes (VRCs). In spite of its essential role in viral replication, the biogenesis of the VRCs is not fully understood. The authors identified cr...
