MITOCHONDRIAL LINK. “The fact, that the virus EsV-1 channel is associated with the mitochondria, suggests that this channel protein acquired domains that sort the protein to this organelle. The competition for the right molecular sorting machinery must have affected the evolution of this protein. Since the EsV-1 protein is in the mitochondria, this channel might be part of an early anti-apoptotic system important for viral persistence.”
