A Novel Viral Assembly Inhibitor Blocks SARS-CoV-2 Replication in Airway Epithelial Cells

ABSTRACT: The ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 to evade vaccines and therapeutics underlines the need for novel therapies with high genetic barriers to resistance. The small molecule PAV-104, identified through a cell-free protein synthesis and assembly screen, was recently shown to target host protein assembly machinery in a manner specific to viral assembly. Here, we investigated the capacity of PAV-104 to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in human airway epithelial cells (AECs). Our data demonstrate that PAV-104 inhibited >99% of infection with diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants in primary and immortalized human AECs. PAV-104 suppressed SARS-CoV-2 production without affecting viral entry or protein synthesis. PAV-104 interacted with SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) and interfered with its oligomerization, blocking particle assembly. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that PAV-104 reversed SARS-CoV-2 induction of the type-I interferon response and the maturation of nucleoprotein signaling pathway known to support coronavirus replication. Our findings suggest that PAV-104 is a promising therapeutic candidate for COVID-19.

ISGylation of the SARS-CoV-2 N protein by HERC5 impedes N oligomerization and thereby viral RNA synthesis

Project description:Interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a ubiquitin-like protein, is covalently conjugated to host immune proteins such as MDA5 and IRF3 in a process called ISGylation, thereby promoting type I interferon (IFN) induction to limit the replication of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, whether SARS-CoV-2 proteins can be directly targeted for ISGylation remains elusive. In this study, we identified the nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2 as a major substrate of ISGylation catalyzed by the host E3 ligase HERC5; however, N ISGylation is readily removed through de-ISGylation by the papain-like protease (PLpro) activity of NSP3. Mass spectrometry analysis identified that the N protein undergoes ISGylation at four lysine residues (K266, K355, K387 and K388), and mutational analysis of these sites in the context of a SARS-CoV-2 replicon (N-4KR) abolished N ISGylation and alleviated ISGylation-mediated inhibition of viral RNA synthesis. Furthermore, our results indicated that HERC5 targets preferentially phosphorylated N protein for ISGylation to regulate its oligomeric assembly. These findings reveal a novel mechanism by which the host ISGylation machinery directly targets SARS-CoV-2 proteins to restrict viral replication and illuminate how an intricate interplay of host (HERC5) and viral (PLpro) enzymes coordinates viral protein ISGylation and thereby regulates virus replication.

A novel cell culture system modeling the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the global pandemic of COVID-19, and no effective antiviral agents and vaccines are available. SARS-CoV-2 is classified as a biosafety level-3 (BLS-3) agent, impeding the basic research into its biology and the development of effective antivirals. Here, we described a safe cell culture system for production of transcription and replication-competent, biologically contained SARS-CoV-2 virus like particles (trVLP) that express a reporter gene (GFP) replacing viral nucleocapsid gene, which is required for viral genome packaging and virion assembly (SARS-CoV-2-GFP/N trVLP). The complete viral life cycle can be exclusively achieved and confined in the cells expressing SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2 N proteins in trans, but not MERS-CoV N. Additionally, genetic recombination of N supplied in trans into viral genome was not detected, as evidenced by sequence analysis after one-month serial passages in N-expressing Caco-2 cells. Moreover, Intein-mediated protein trans-splicing approach was utilized to split the viral N gene into two independent vectors, and the ligated viral N protein could function in trans to recapitulate entire viral life cycle, further securing the biosafety of this cell culture model. To prove the suitability of this system in antivirals discovery, we developed a 96-well format high throughput screening to identify salinomycin, monensin sodium and lycorine chloride exhibiting potent antiviral activities against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Collectively, we propose that this cell culture system based on Intein-N genetic complementation to produce SARS-CoV-2 trVLP provides a safe means to dissect the virus life cycle, and thus accelerate our understanding of virus biology, as well as for more applied uses such as the screening and development of novel antivirals, and thus represent powerful tools for SARS-CoV-2 study.

The SARS-CoV-2 RNA-protein interactome in infected human cells

Project description:Characterizing the interactions that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNAs make with host cell proteins during infection can improve our understanding of viral RNA functions and the host innate immune response. Using RNA antisense purification and mass spectrometry (RAP-MS), we identify up to 104 human proteins that directly and specifically bind to SARS-CoV-2 RNAs in infected human cells. We integrate the SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome with proteome abundance changes induced by viral infection and link interactome proteins to cellular pathways relevant to SARS-CoV-2 infections. We demonstrate by genetic perturbation that CNBP and LARP1, two of the most strongly enriched viral RNA binders, restrict SARS-CoV-2 replication in infected cells and provide a global map of their direct RNA contact sites. Pharmacological inhibition of three other RNA interactome members, PPIA, ATP1A1, and the ARP2/3 complex, reduces viral replication in two human cell lines. The identification of host dependency factors and defence strategies as presented in this work will improve the design of targeted therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2.

SND1 binds SARS-CoV-2 negative-sense RNA and promotes viral RNA synthesis through NSP9

Project description:Regulation of viral RNA biogenesis is fundamental to productive SARS-CoV-2 infection. To characterize host RNA-binding proteins involved in this process, we biochemically identified proteins bound to genomic and subgenomic SARS-CoV-2 RNAs. We find that the host protein SND1 specifically binds to the 5'-end of negative-sense viral RNA and is required for SARS-CoV-2 RNA synthesis. SND1-depleted cells form smaller replication organelles and display diminished virus growth kinetics. We discover that NSP9, a viral RNA-binding protein and direct SND1 interaction partner, is covalently linked to the 5'-ends of positive and negative-sense RNAs produced during infection. These linkages occur at replication-transcription initiation sites, consistent with NSP9 priming viral RNA synthesis. Mechanistically, SND1 remodels NSP9 occupancy and alters the covalent linkage of NSP9 to initiating nucleotides in viral RNA. Our findings implicate NSP9 in the initiation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA synthesis and unravel an unsuspected role of a cellular protein in orchestrating viral RNA production.

Blood RNA-seq data from individuals during the UK Covid-19 lockdown, spanning sequential weeks from first PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, used to evaluate blood transcriptomic signatures of viral infection and identify host-response biomarkers of early SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Healthcare workers were recruited at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, UK in the week of lockdown in the United Kingdom (between 23rd and 31st March 2020). Participants underwent weekly evaluation using a questionnaire and biological sample collection (including serological assays) for up to 16 weeks when attending for work and self-declared as fit to attend work at each visit, with further follow up samples collected at 24 weeks. Blood RNA sequencing data was to be used to identify host-response biomarkers of early SARS-CoV-2 infection, to evaluate existing blood transcriptomic signatures of viral infection, and to describe the underlying biology during SARS-CoV-2 infection. This submission includes a total of 172 blood RNA samples from 99 participants. Of these, 114 samples (including 16 convalescent samples collected 6 months after infection) were obtained from 41 SARS-CoV-2 cases, with the remaining 58 from uninfected controls. Participants with available blood RNA samples who had PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during follow-up were included as ‘cases’. Those without evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection on nasopharyngeal swabs and who remained seronegative by both Euroimmun anti S1 spike protein and Roche anti nucleocapsid protein throughout follow-up were included as uninfected controls. ‘Cases’ include all available RNA samples, including convalescent samples at week 24 of follow-up for a subset of participants. For uninfected controls, we included baseline samples only. Sample class denotes weekly interval to positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR; non-infected controls (NIC); convalescent samples (Conv)_.

RNA-Seq of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein expression in human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293

Project description:The RNA genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus encodes for four structural proteins, 16 non-structural proteins and nine putative accessory factors. A high throughput analysis of interactions between human and SARS-CoV-2 proteins identified multiple interactions of the structural Nucleocapsid (N) protein with RNA processing factors. The N-protein, which is responsible for packaging of the viral genomic RNA was found to interact with two RNA helicases, UPF1 and MOV10 that are involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). NMD is a translation-coupled mechanism that targets mRNAs harboring a premature stop codon (PTC) for degradation, thereby serving as a quality control and gene regulatory pathway ensuring transcriptome integrity. Here, we wanted to explore the impact of transiently expressed N protein on the transcriptome of human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 by RNA-Sequencing. To this end, the SARS-CoV2-N protein was transiently expressed from a pcDNA3.1-HA-N plasmid for 48 hours and the corresponding empty vector was used as a control.

The RNA demethylase FTO controls m6A marking on SARS-CoV-2 and classifies COVID-19 severity in patients

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a key role in the life cycles of several RNA viruses. Whether this applies to SARS-CoV-2 and whether m6A affects the outcome of COVID-19 disease is still poorly explored. Here we report that the RNA demethylase FTO strongly affects both m6A marking of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 severity. By m6A profiling of SARS-CoV-2, we confirmed in infected cultured cells and showed for the first time in vivo in hamsters that the regions encoding TRS_L and the nucleocapsid protein are multiply marked by m6A, preferentially within RRACH motifs that are specific to β-coronaviruses and well conserved across SARS-CoV-2 variants. In cells, downregulation of the m6A demethylase FTO, occurring upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, increased m6A marking of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and slightly promoted viral replication. In COVID-19 patients, a negative correlation was found between FTO expression and both SARS-CoV-2 expression and disease severity. FTO emerged as a classifier of disease severity and hence a potential stratifier of COVID-19 patients.

Longitudinal clonal IgG cross-reactivity profiles of coronavirus-specific B-cells in COVID-19 patients

Project description:We investigated the kinetics, breadth, magnitude, and level of cross-reactivity of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and heterologous seasonal (HCoV-NL63, -229E, -OC43 and -HKU1) and epidemic coronaviruses (SARS-CoV, hCoV-MERS) at the clonal level in patients with mild or severe COVID-19 as well as in disease control patients. We assessed IgG antibody reactivity to nucleocapsid and spike antigens using protein microarray. A cutoff was set at the average plus 3 times the SD of 20 nonreactive cultures with a minimum MFI of 1000.

Affinity Purification Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Mutant and Wildtype SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic is arguably the most important global threat to humankind that the world has seen in a century. SARS-CoV-2 has now reached 196 countries across all continents with over 159 million confirmed cases with 3.3 million deaths todate. Currently, our knowledge on how and why SARS-CoV-2 causes severe COVID-19 is continually evolving. Here, we identified three consecutive SNPs (G28881A, G28882A, G28883C) resulting in the Nucleocapsid (N) protein amino acid mutations R203K and G204R (simply termed KR mutation) by large-scale SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing from clinical swab samples of patients. The nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2, the highly abundant structure protein within the infected cells, serves multiple functions during viral infection, which besides RNA binding, playing essential roles in viral transcription, replication, and translation. We investigated the impact of this KR mutation on the functional properties of N protein in terms of host protein interaction and phosphorylation status by mass spectrometry.

TRIM7 ubiquitinates SARS-CoV-2 membrane protein to limit apoptosis and viral replication

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 is a highly transmissible virus that causes COVID-19 disease. Mechanisms of viral pathogenesis include excessive inflammation and viral-induced cell death, resulting in tissue damage. We identified the host E3-ubiquitin ligase TRIM7 as an inhibitor of apoptosis and SARS-CoV-2 replication via ubiquitination of the viral membrane (M) protein. Trim7-/- mice exhibited increased pathology and virus titers associated with epithelial apoptosis and dysregulated immune responses. Mechanistically, TRIM7 ubiquitinates M on K14, which protects cells from cell death. Longitudinal SARS-CoV-2 sequence analysis from infected patients revealed that mutations on M-K14 appeared in circulating variants during the pandemic. The relevance of these mutations was tested in a mouse model. A recombinant M-K14/K15R virus showed reduced viral replication, consistent with the role of K15 in virus assembly, and increased levels of apoptosis associated with the loss of ubiquitination on K14. TRIM7 antiviral activity requires caspase-6 inhibition, linking apoptosis with viral replication and pathology.
