Indeed, it has been demonstrated before that SARS-CoV, like EBOV, displays late cell entry kinetics and that transport to NPC1+ (Niemann-Pick C1 protein) late endo-lysosomes is a rate-defining step [9] . The two-pore channels (TPC1, TPC2) are required by viruses such as EBOV (Ebola virus), MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, orchestrating the interplay of virus and endolysosomal milieus such as trafficking from early to late endosomes, fusion of late endosomes with lysosomes, and facilitating releasing of viral RNA into the cytoplasm. ./cache/cord-277440-9nehpbg2.txt ./txt/cord-277440-9nehpbg2.txt
