Targeting the coronavirus nucleocapsid protein through GSK-3 inhibition

Xiaolei Liu et al.

Summary: The nucleocapsid protein (N) of coronaviruses is essential for viral replication, and the phosphorylation of N by glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is crucial for its function. The study found that the N protein of SARS-CoV-2 may be sensitive to GSK-3 inhibitors like lithium, leading to reduced risk of COVID-19 in patients taking lithium. Inhibition of GSK-3 impairs viral transcription and replication, suggesting that targeting GSK-3 could be a potential approach to treat COVID-19 and future coronavirus outbreaks.

Deeba Shamim Jairajpuri et al.

Summary: COVID-19 originated in China and spread globally through human-to-human transmission, caused by a newly emerged virus called SARS-CoV-2. The main protease of SARS-CoV-2, M-pro, is a key target for drug design. A high-throughput virtual screening process identified potential natural compounds to inhibit the M-pro of SARS-CoV-2.

Biochemical characterization of protease activity of Nsp3 from SARS-CoV-2 and its inhibition by nanobodies

Lee A. Armstrong et al.

Summary: Among the 16 non-structural proteins encoded by SARS CoV-2, Nsp3 is the largest and plays important roles in the viral life cycle. The papain-like protease domain (PLpro) encoded within Nsp3 cleaves viral polypeptide, as well as ubiquitin and ISG15 from host cell proteins. Screening clinical compounds, five were found to inhibit PLpro but showed no significant antiviral activity in cellular SARS-CoV-2 infection assays, highlighting the importance of alternative methods like engineered nanobodies to block PLpro activity.
