Fatty Acid Elongase 7 Catalyzes the Lipidome Remodeling Essential for Human Cytomegalovirus Replication

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection rewires host cell metabolism, up-regulating flux from glucose into acetyl-CoA to feed fatty acid metabolism, with saturated very long-chain fatty acids (VLFCA) required for production of infectious virion progeny. The human genome encodes seven elongase enzymes...
