Abstract
Here, Shaban et al. show that coronaviruses modulate ER stress and the unfolded protein response. The ER stress inducer thapsigargin exerts potent antiviral effects, partially reverses the virus-induced translational shut-down, reprograms the host proteome and suppresses autophagic flux, thereby inhibiting coronavirus replication at multiple levels.
