Researchers at ICMR-NIRBI and collaborating institutions have identified ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) as a host factor hijacked by rotavirus NSP5 to support viroplasm formation, lipid droplet production and viral infection. Targeting ACLY using inhibitors, siRNA and a phosphorylation-deficient mutant reduced rotavirus infection in vitro. In a mouse model, ACLY inhibition also reduced viral markers and improved intestinal outcomes, highlighting ACLY as a potential target for future anti-rotaviral therapies.
