Enteroviruses, members of the Picornaviridae family, are non‐enveloped and single‐stranded RNA viruses responsible for several human diseases. During infection, these viruses build membrane‐bound organelles, called replication organelles (ROs), where new virions are assembled. ROs are highly enriched in phosphatidylinositol 4‐phosphate (PI4P) produced by the host lipid kinase PI4KB. In this issue of EMBO Reports , McPhail et al [1] characterize a complex, formed by PI4KB and the c10orf76 protein, which is involved in PI4P production. They show that this machinery is hijacked by specific enteroviruses such as coxsackievirus A10 for their replication. Graphical Abstract A new study characterizes a complex involved in PI4P production and shows that this machinery is hijacked by specific enteroviruses such as Coxsackievirus A10 for their replication.
