MAP1LC3A and infection: In human trophoblast cells engineered with an LC3-GFP-mCherry reporter, ORF3a induces autophagosome accumulation, and shifts autophagy toward a secretory pathway with elevated levels of CD63 + extracellular vesicles and disrupted ZO-1 localization, all of which are recapitulated by live infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant.
