SARS-CoV-2 spike P681R mutation, a hallmark of the Delta variant, enhances viral fusogenicity and pathogenicity

ABSTRACT: During the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a variety of mutations have been accumulated in the viral genome, and currently, four variants of concerns (VOCs) are considered as the hazardous SARS-CoV-2 variants to the human society. The newly emerging VOC, the B.1.617.2/Delta variant, closely associates with a huge COVID-19 surge in India in Spring 2021. However, its virological property remains unclear. Here, we show that the B.1.617.2/Delta variant is highly fusogenic, and notably, more pathogenic than prototypic SARS-CoV-2 in infected hamsters. The P681R mutation in the spike protein, which is highly conserved in this lineage, facilitates the spike protein cleavage and enhances viral fusogenicity. Moreover, we demonstrate that the P681R-bearing virus exhibits higher pathogenicity than the parental virus. Our data suggest that the P681R mutation is a hallmark that characterizes the virological phenotype of the B.1.617.2/Delta variant and is closely associated with enhanced pathogenicity.

N-linked glycan analysis of native SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant Spike

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant is more contagious than WT and causes severe symptoms.To understand the elevated fusogenicity of Delta, we used LC-MS/MS to characterize the site specific N-linked glycan of spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant virions.The glycan analysis revealed increased oligomannose-type glycosylation of native Delta spike over that of the Wuhan-Hu-1 spike.

SARS-CoV-2 spike sequence dictates host TP53 activity and COVID-19 pathogenicity

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 induces widespread transcriptomic changes in host cells upon infection, in part through activation and modulation of innate immunity pathways and downstream gene regulation. However, the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 and its evolutionary variants differentially affect host cell transcriptomic states remain largely unclear. Through chromatin proteomic (iDAPT-MS) analysis, we found that although SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogenic coronaviruses exhibit similar proteomic shifts on chromatin, SARS-CoV-2 uniquely promotes TP53 nuclear accumulation and activation. Parallel assessment of SARS-CoV-2 viral protein expression on host chromatin states (ATAC-seq) identifies intracellular spike protein as a key determinant of virus-mediated chromatin accessibility changes. Multilevel chromatin profiling reveals increased TP53 nuclear accumulation, TP53-associated chromatin accessibility changes, and TP53 target gene activation upon expression of SARS-CoV-2 alpha (B.1.1.7) and delta (B.1.617.2) spike variants relative to the ancestral spike sequence. TP53, ACE2, and furin cleavage are required for these changes, driving decreased cellular proliferation, increased cellular senescence, and increased cytokine release. Finally, BA.1 but not BA.2, BA.2.12.1, nor BA.4/BA.5 spike expression leads to attenuated TP53 activity and fusogenicity relative to ancestral spike. Our findings implicate spike-mediated host TP53 activation as a “rheostat” of COVID-19 pathogenicity.

B cell epitope mapping of SARS-CoV-2 spike vaccinated rabbits

Project description:This experiment aims to profile polyclonal antibody binding profiles in serum from vaccinated animals relative to antibody function in a virus neutralization assay. Rabbits received three vaccinations with a DNA vaccine encoding the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 index strain. Serum samples were selected based on a three-tier (low, intermediate, and high) capacity to cross-neutralize SARS-CoV-2 strains with known neutralization resistance. Following normalization of total anti-spike IgG levels, serum of each animal (n=3) were evaluated for antibody binding to 10mer cyclic constrained peptides spanning the entire spike protein and regions with known SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern spike mutations.

Preparation of chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2

Project description:To investigate the virological properties of a SARS-CoV-2 variant, Omicron BA.2, we generated chimeric recombinant viruses that express GFP and encodes the S gene of B.1.1 (ancestral D614G-bearing virus), Delta, BA.1 and BA.2. To verify the genome sequence of the working viruses, we performed viral RNA-sequencing of the viral stock.

Total Proteomics of SARS-CoV-2 variants

Project description:The ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain that initiated the Covid-19 pandemic at the end of 2019 has rapidly mutated into multiple variants of concern with variable pathogenicity and increasing immune escape strategies. However, differences in host cellular antiviral responses upon infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants remains elusive. Leveraging whole cell proteomics, we determined host signalling pathways that are differentially modulated upon infection with the clinical isolates of the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 B.1 and the variants of concern Delta and Omicron BA.1. Our findings illustrate alterations in the global host proteome landscape upon infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants and the resulting host immune responses. Additionally, viral proteome kinetics reveal declining levels of viral protein expression during Omicron BA.1 infection when compared to ancestral B.1 and Delta variants, consistent with its reduced replication rates. Moreover, molecular assays reveal deferral activation of specific host antiviral signalling upon Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 infection. Our study provides an overview of host proteome profile of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants and brings forth a better understanding of the instigation of key immune signalling pathways causative for the differential pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Differences in syncytia formation by SARS-CoV-2 variants modify host chromatin accessibility and cellular senescence via TP53 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:COVID-19 remains a significant public health threat due to the ability of SARS-CoV-2 variants to evade the immune system and cause breakthrough infections. Although pathogenic coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV lead to severe respiratory infections, how these viruses affect the chromatin proteomic composition upon infection remains largely uncharacterized. Here we used our recently developed integrative DNA And Protein Tagging (iDAPT) methodology to identify changes in host chromatin accessibility states and chromatin proteomic composition upon infection with pathogenic coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2 infection induces TP53 stabilization on chromatin, which contributes to its host cytopathic effect. We mapped this TP53 stabilization to the SARS-CoV-2 spike and its propensity to form syncytia, a consequence of cell-cell fusion. Differences in SARS-CoV-2 spike variant-induced syncytia formation modify chromatin accessibility, cellular senescence, and inflammatory cytokine release via TP53. Our findings suggest that differences in syncytia formation alter senescence-associated inflammation, which varies among SARS-CoV-2 variants.
