Therapeutic target database update 2022: facilitating drug discovery with enriched comparative data of targeted agents

Ying Zhou et al.

Summary: Drug discovery relies not only on knowledge of drugs and targets, but also on understanding comparative agents and targets. This study introduces a major update to the Therapeutic Target Database, providing valuable data on poor binders, non-binders, prodrug-drug pairs, co-targets, and drug-like properties, as well as additional features for advanced search and cross-links to target structures.

Identification of Required Host Factors for SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Human Cells

Zharko Daniloski et al.

Summary: Researchers conducted a genome-scale CRISPR screen to identify host factors crucial for SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting genes related to ATPase proton pump, Retromer, and Commander complexes. Validating these gene targets through multiple methods, they found shared transcriptional changes in cholesterol biosynthesis when top-ranked genes were lost. Loss of RAB7A was shown to reduce viral entry by sequestering the ACE2 receptor inside cells, underscoring its importance early in the viral infection process.

Genome-wide CRISPR Screens Reveal Host Factors Critical for SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Jin Wei et al.

Summary: Identification of essential host genes for SARS-CoV-2 infection, including ACE2 and Cathepsin L, and the discovery of pro-viral genes and pathways specific to SARS lineage and pan-coronavirus provide potential therapeutic targets and insights into pathogenesis of COVID-19. Small-molecule antagonists of these gene products inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection across species, highlighting their conserved role in susceptibility to highly pathogenic CoVs.

Identification of antiviral antihistamines for COVID-19 repurposing

Leah R. Reznikov et al.

Summary: The urgency to identify therapies that prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and enhance COVID-19 outcomes is emphasized. The study identified potential repurposed antihistamine drugs with in vitro antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 through mining electronic health records. Clinical studies are recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of these antihistamines for disease prevention and treatment.

Genetic Screens Identify Host Factors for SARS-CoV-2 and Common Cold Coronaviruses

Ruofan Wang et al.

Summary: The study identified common host factors for three coronaviruses and critical host pathways supporting infection by all of them, including phosphatidylinositol phosphate biosynthesis and cholesterol homeostasis. Inhibition of these pathways reduced replication of all three coronaviruses, while the lysosomal protein TMEM106B appeared unique to SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings provide important insights for understanding the coronavirus life cycle and developing host-directed therapies.

Adam L. Bailey et al.

Summary: Complementary genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens conducted by multiple groups have provided new insights into SARS-CoV-2 biology, particularly in viral entry, translation, replication, egress, and the genes involved in regulating these processes. Comparisons with other coronaviruses have furthered our understanding of the cellular life cycle of this important family of emerging viruses.

Opposing activities of IFITM proteins in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Guoli Shi et al.

Summary: The study reveals that some IFITMs can restrict SARS-CoV-2 infections while others enhance infections, with IFITM3 showing new antiviral mechanisms involving amphipathic helix and endocytosis-promoting motif. These findings provide insights into the dual roles of IFITM3 in enhancing viral infection at the plasma membrane and restricting endosomal SARS-CoV-2.

The Polybasic Cleavage Site in SARS-CoV-2 Spike Modulates Viral Sensitivity to Type I Interferon and IFITM2

Helena Winstone et al.

Summary: The presence of a polybasic cleavage site in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 allows the virus to enter cells in a pH-independent manner, mitigating against IFITM-mediated restriction and promoting replication and transmission. Targeted depletion of IFITM2 expression alleviates potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication by type I IFNs. Therapeutic strategies targeting furin-mediated cleavage of the spike protein may reduce viral replication through the activity of type I IFNs.

Genome-wide CRISPR screening identifies TMEM106B as a proviral host factor for SARS-CoV-2

Jim Baggen et al.

Summary: Genome-wide CRISPR screens have revealed that the lysosomal protein TMEM106B is essential for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overexpression of TMEM106B enhances both SARS-CoV-2 and pseudovirus infection, indicating a potential role in viral entry. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data from COVID-19 patient airway cells shows a correlation between TMEM106B expression and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Defending Antiviral Cationic Amphiphilic Drugs That May Cause Drug-Induced Phospholipidosis

Thomas R. Lane et al.

Summary: While a recent publication suggested that cationic amphiphilic drugs repurposed for COVID-19 may not be effective in vivo, additional experimental data supports the efficacy of many of these molecules both in vitro and in vivo without causing phospholipidosis. Therefore, further exploration of this class of compounds is warranted in the search for broad spectrum antivirals.
