Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and acquires ...
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is pivotal in programming cellular lipid homeostasis for the structural and functional integrity of cells. Dysregulation of mTOR and consequent altered lipid metabolism are common features in various diseases, including cancers, making mTOR signaling a p...
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles central to cellular energy homeostasis and stress adaptation. Maintaining LD balance is critical for cell function, yet the mechanisms governing selective LD degradation remain unclear. Here, we reveal a pathway promoting efficient vacuolar sequestering...
