Description
Yuanrong Kang, Judit Pogany, and Peter Nagy show how a plant virus steals a cell's fat ferry in a 2024 study. Such germs bend the host's skins to build dens where they breed.
The virus in view breeds in yeast and in plants. It grabs a ferry whose day job is to haul fats from skin to skin at touch points. A viral part holds the ferry head-on, no self-eat crew in the loop. The haul fattens the den's skins with three fats the breed needs. Starved of those fats, the breed stalls. The authors say the theft shows how germs bend fat flow to their ends, a seam that drugs might one day cut.
