SARS-CoV-2 Nsp6 damages Drosophila heart and mouse cardiomyocytes through MGA/MAX complex-mediated increased glycolysis

SARS-CoV-2 protein expression studies in the Drosophila heart suggest a cause of COVID-19-associated cardiac pathology via interaction of virus Nsp6 with the host MGA/MAX complex disrupting glycolysis and cardiac mitochondrial function.
