Crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 Orf9b in complex with human TOM70 suggests unusual virus-host interactions

SARS-CoV-2 orf9b binds to the mitochondrial outer membrane protein TOM70 and has been linked to the suppression of interferon responses. Here, the authors characterize the interactions of SARS-CoV-2 orf9b and human TOM70 biochemically, and they determine the 2.2 Å crystal structure of the TOM70 cyto...
