¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N backbone chemical-shift assignments of SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 1 (leader protein).

ABSTRACT: The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a worldwide health crisis, necessitating coordinated scientific research and urgent identification of new drug targets for treatment of COVID-19 lung disease. The covid19-nmr consortium seeks to support drug development by providing publicly accessible NMR data on the viral RNA elements and proteins. The SARS-CoV-2 genome comprises a single RNA of about 30 kb in length, in which 14 open reading frames (ORFs) have been annotated, and encodes approximately 30 proteins. The first two-thirds of the SARS-CoV-2 genome is made up of two large overlapping open-reading-frames (ORF1a and ORF1b) encoding a replicase polyprotein, which is subsequently cleaved to yield 16 so-called non-structural proteins. The non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1), which is considered to be a major virulence factor, suppresses host immune functions by associating with host ribosomal complexes at the very end of its C-terminus. Furthermore, Nsp1 facilitates initiation of viral RNA translation via an interaction of its N-terminal domain with the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the viral RNA. Here, we report the near-complete backbone chemical-shift assignments of full-length SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 (19.8 kDa), which reveal the domain organization, secondary structure and backbone dynamics of Nsp1, and which will be of value to further NMR-based investigations of both the biochemical and physiological functions of Nsp1.

1H, 13C and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of SARS-CoV-2 nsp3a.

Project description:The non-structural protein nsp3 from SARS-CoV-2 plays an essential role in the viral replication transcription complex. Nsp3a constitutes the N-terminal domain of nsp3, comprising a ubiquitin-like folded domain and a disordered acidic chain. This region of nsp3a has been linked to interactions with the viral nucleoprotein and the structure of double membrane vesicles. Here, we report the backbone resonance assignment of both domains of nsp3a. The study is carried out in the context of the international covid19-nmr consortium, which aims to characterize SARS-CoV-2 proteins and RNAs, providing for example NMR chemical shift assignments of the different viral components. Our assignment will provide the basis for the identification of inhibitors and further functional and interaction studies of this essential protein.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of coronavirus-2 non-structural protein Nsp10.

Project description:The international Covid19-NMR consortium aims at the comprehensive spectroscopic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 RNA elements and proteins and will provide NMR chemical shift assignments of the molecular components of this virus. The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes approximately 30 different proteins. Four of these proteins are involved in forming the viral envelope or in the packaging of the RNA genome and are therefore called structural proteins. The other proteins fulfill a variety of functions during the viral life cycle and comprise the so-called non-structural proteins (nsps). Here, we report the near-complete NMR resonance assignment for the backbone chemical shifts of the non-structural protein 10 (nsp10). Nsp10 is part of the viral replication-transcription complex (RTC). It aids in synthesizing and modifying the genomic and subgenomic RNAs. Via its interaction with nsp14, it ensures transcriptional fidelity of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and through its stimulation of the methyltransferase activity of nsp16, it aids in synthesizing the RNA cap structures which protect the viral RNAs from being recognized by the innate immune system. Both of these functions can be potentially targeted by drugs. Our data will aid in performing additional NMR-based characterizations, and provide a basis for the identification of possible small molecule ligands interfering with nsp10 exerting its essential role in viral replication.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone and side chain chemical shift assignments of the SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 7.

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes for approximately 30 proteins. Within the international project covid19-nmr, we distribute the spectroscopic analysis of the viral proteins and RNA. Here, we report NMR chemical shift assignments for the protein nsp7. The 83 amino acid nsp7 protein is an essential cofactor in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The polymerase activity and processivity of nsp12 are greatly enhanced by binding 1 copy of nsp7 and 2 copies of nsp8 to form a 160 kD complex. A separate hexadecameric complex of nsp7 and nsp8 (8 copies of each) forms a large ring-like structure. Thus, nsp7 is an important component of several large protein complexes that are required for replication of the large and complex coronavirus genome. We here report the near-complete NMR backbone and sidechain resonance assignment (1H,13C,15N) of isolated nsp7 from SARS-CoV-2 in solution. Further, we derive the secondary structure and compare it to the previously reported assignments and structure of the SARS-CoV nsp7.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the C-terminal dimerization domain of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein.

Project description:The current outbreak of the highly infectious COVID-19 respiratory disease is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). To fight the pandemic, the search for promising viral drug targets has become a cross-border common goal of the international biomedical research community. Within the international Covid19-NMR consortium, scientists support drug development against SARS-CoV-2 by providing publicly available NMR data on viral proteins and RNAs. The coronavirus nucleocapsid protein (N protein) is an RNA-binding protein involved in viral transcription and replication. Its primary function is the packaging of the viral RNA genome. The highly conserved architecture of the coronavirus N protein consists of an N-terminal RNA-binding domain (NTD), followed by an intrinsically disordered Serine/Arginine (SR)-rich linker and a C-terminal dimerization domain (CTD). Besides its involvement in oligomerization, the CTD of the N protein (N-CTD) is also able to bind to nucleic acids by itself, independent of the NTD. Here, we report the near-complete NMR backbone chemical shift assignments of the SARS-CoV-2 N-CTD to provide the basis for downstream applications, in particular site-resolved drug binding studies.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the nucleic acid-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 3e.

Project description:The ongoing pandemic caused by the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) demonstrates the urgent need of coordinated and rapid research towards inhibitors of the COVID-19 lung disease. The covid19-nmr consortium seeks to support drug development by providing publicly accessible NMR data on the viral RNA elements and proteins. The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes for approximately 30 proteins, among them are the 16 so-called non-structural proteins (Nsps) of the replication/transcription complex. The 217-kDa large Nsp3 spans one polypeptide chain, but comprises multiple independent, yet functionally related domains including the viral papain-like protease. The Nsp3e sub-moiety contains a putative nucleic acid-binding domain (NAB) with so far unknown function and consensus target sequences, which are conceived to be both viral and host RNAs and DNAs, as well as protein-protein interactions. Its NMR-suitable size renders it an attractive object to study, both for understanding the SARS-CoV-2 architecture and drugability besides the classical virus' proteases. We here report the near-complete NMR backbone chemical shifts of the putative Nsp3e NAB that reveal the secondary structure and compactness of the domain, and provide a basis for NMR-based investigations towards understanding and interfering with RNA- and small-molecule-binding by Nsp3e.

1H, 13C, 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the extended ARID domain in human AT-rich interactive domain protein 5a (Arid5a).

Project description:The family of AT-rich interactive domain (ARID) containing proteins -Arids- contains 15 members that have almost exclusively been described as DNA-binding proteins. Interestingly, a decade ago the family member Arid5a was found to bind and stabilize mRNAs of immune system key players and thereby account for driving inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. How exactly binding to DNA and RNA is coordinated by the Arid5a ARID domain remains unknown, mainly due to the lack of atom-resolved information on nucleic acid-binding. This in particular applies to the protein's ARID domain, despite the comfortable size of its core unit for NMR-based investigations. Furthermore, the core domain of ARID domains is found to be extended by functionally relevant, often flexible stretches, but whether such elongations are present and crucial for the versatile Arid5a functions is unknown. We here provide a near-complete NMR backbone resonance assignment of the Arid5a ARID domain with N- and C-terminal extensions, which serves as a basis for further studies of its nucleic acid-binding preferences and targeted inhibition by means of NMR. Our data thus significantly contribute to unravelling mechanisms of Arid5a-mediated gene regulation and diseases.

1H, 13C and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of camelid single-domain antibodies against active state µ-opioid receptor.

Project description:Nanobodies are single chain antibodies that have become a highly valuable and versatile tool for biomolecular and therapeutic research. One application field is the stabilization of active states of flexible proteins, among which G-protein coupled receptors represent a very important class of membrane proteins. Here we present the backbone and side-chain assignment of the 1H, 13C and 15N resonances of Nb33 and Nb39, two nanobodies that recognize and stabilize the µ-opioid receptor to opioids in its active agonist-bound conformation. In addition, we present a comparison of their secondary structures as derived from NMR chemical shifts.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of m7GTP cap-bound Leishmania initiation factor 4E-1.

Project description:Most of the translational control of gene expression in higher eukaryotes occurs during the initiation step of protein synthesis. While this process is well characterized in mammalian cells, it is less defined in parasites, including the ones that cause human Leishmaniasis. The Leishmania cap-binding isoform 1 (LeishIF4E-1) is the only isoform that binds the specific trypanosomatids-specific hypermethylated 5' cap, called cap-4, in the human stage of the parasite life cycle. We report here the extensive NMR resonance assignment of LeishIF4E-1 bound to a cap analog, m7GTP. The chemical shift data constitute a prerequisite to understanding specific translation initiation mechanisms used in Leishmania parasites and to developing antiparasitic drugs targeting their translation initiation factors.

Backbone 1H, 15N and 13C resonance assignments of the 27kDa fluorescent protein mCherry.

Project description:mCherry is one of the most successfully applied monomeric red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) for in vivo and in vitro imaging. However, questions pertaining to the photostability of the RFPs remain and rational further engineering of their photostability requires information about the fluorescence quenching mechanism in solution. To this end, NMR spectroscopic investigations might be helpful, and we present the near-complete backbone NMR chemical shift assignment to aid in this pursuit.

1H, 13C, 15 N chemical shift assignments of the FKBP12 protein from the pathogenic fungi Candida auris and Candida glabrata.

Project description:Multi-drug resistance is becoming an increasingly severe clinical challenge not only among pathogenic bacteria but among fungal pathogens as well. Drug design is inherently more challenging for the eukaryotic fungi due to their closer evolutionary similarity to humans. The recent rapid expansion in invasive infections throughout the world by Candida auris is of particular concern due to a substantial mortality rate, comparatively facile transmission, and an increasing level of resistance to all three of the major classes of anti-fungal drugs. One promising avenue for the development of an alternative class of anti-fungal agents currently under investigation is for drugs against the FK506-binding protein FKBP12 which, when bound to that drug, inhibits the fungal calcineurin signaling pathway with a resultant diminution in virulence. The specific challenge to this approach is that the homologous human calcineurin pathway functions in controlling the tissue immunity response, so that drug selectivity for the fungal pathway must be designed. To facilitate such efforts, we report the nearly complete backbone and sidechain resonances for the FKBP12 proteins of both Candida auris and clinically significant Candida glabrata fungi.
