SERCA is a host target of the SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein linking calcium homeostasis to autophagy
The SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein is a virulence factor that remodels host endomembranes, but mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We recently demonstrated that E protein interacts with and inhibits the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺-ATPase (SERCA), disrupting ER calcium homeostasis. Here, we investigated how...
