We observed an increased interaction of PDHA1 with SIRT3 in the infection scenario in comparison to the uninfected control, which gets eventually abolished under the knockdown condition (Figure 7H and I) and under the chemical inhibitor treatment of SIRT3 (Figure 7J, K and L) suggesting the role of the SIRT3 in mediating the interaction with PDHA1. Here, SIRT3 is linked to infection.
