Fig 1. Overexpression of CCTα phenotypically recapitulates retargeting of long chain FAs from neutral to membrane lipid synthesis observed in poliovirus-infected cells.

A. HeLa cells were transfected with a CCTα-RFP expressing plasmid, and the next day they were incubated for 1 h with Bodipy C4/C9 in the medium. Yellow arrows indicate cells expressing the fusion protein, blue arrows show non-transfected cells. B. HeLa cells were infected (mock-infected) with poliovirus at an MOI of 10 PFU/cell, and at 4 h p.i. they were incubated with Bodipy C4/C9 in the medium for 1 h.
