Positive strand RNA viruses are the largest group of RNA viruses on the planet and include many human, animal and plant pathogens. Cellular membranes are key players in all aspects of their life cycle, from entry and replication to assembly and exit. In particular, membranes are virally harnessed to serve as platforms for replication and as carriers to transmit viruses to other cells either as the envelope of a single virus or as the vesicle transporting a population of viruses. Studies have revealed significant convergence among different viruses to utilize membranes with specific lipid blueprints for replication and transmission. For replication many animal/human viruses utilize membranes enriched phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate/cholesterol whereas many plant and insect-vectored animal viruses exploit ones with phosphatidylethanolamine/cholesterol. For transmission, phosphatidylserine enriched membranes are widely used as carriers for RNA and DNA viruses. Here we discuss the role of these membranes for viral pathogenesis and therapeutic development.
