SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a accessory protein is a water-permeable channel that induces lysosome swelling
Abstract ORF3a, the most abundantly expressed accessory protein of SARS-CoV-2, plays an essential role in virus egress by inactivating lysosomes through their deacidification. However, the mechanism underlying this process remains unclear. While seminal studies suggested ORF3a being a cation-selecti...
