The complex structure of GRL0617 and SARS-CoV-2 PLpro reveals a hot spot for antiviral drug discovery

Ziyang Fu et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 PLpro enzyme plays a critical role in virus maturation, host inflammation regulation, and antiviral immune responses, making it a promising drug target. The inhibitor GRL0617 has shown to effectively inhibit PLpro and has promising antiviral activity in vitro. This study provides insights into the mechanism of action of GRL0617 and highlights the potential of targeting the PLpro enzyme for antiviral drug discovery.

Altered ISGylation drives aberrant macrophage-dependent immune responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection

Deeksha Munnur et al.

Summary: Viruses can modulate ISGylation to affect macrophage responses, leading to exaggerated inflammation in COVID-19. Different viruses induce varying responses related to ISG15, with SARS-CoV-2 preferentially triggering deISGylation to generate free ISG15.

Structural basis for inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA polymerase by suramin

Wanchao Yin et al.

Summary: Suramin, an old drug, serves as a potent inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase by blocking RNA binding. It is at least 20 times more effective than the approved nucleotide drug for COVID-19 treatment, remdesivir. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the viral RdRp complexed with suramin reveals its mechanism of action in inhibiting viral replication.
