title: Defining a Viral Membrane-Remodeling Complex on an Atomic Level.
abstract: The Aichi RNA virus remodels host membranes by conscripting two host proteins, PI4KIIIβ (to generate PI4P in the remodeled vesicle) and ACBD3 (that tightly binds PI4KIIIβ), and localizing them on target membranes via Aichi protein 3A. In this issue of Structure, McPhail et al. (2017) reveal structural glimpses of the interfaces involved in this protein threesome using HDX-MS.
