  eLife Assessment

  This is an important study that utilizes proteomic and genetic approaches to identify the glycoprotein quality control factor malectin as a pro-viral host protein involved in the replication of coronavirus. The evidence supporting this conclusion is convincing, although continued elucidation of the mechanistic basis of malectin-mediated viral replication would further strengthen these findings. This work will be of interest to cell biologists studying the molecular mechanisms of glycoprotein quality control and virologists studying the host-pathogen interactions.
