Structures and functions of coronavirus replication-transcription complexes and their relevance for SARS-CoV-2 drug design

Brandon Malone et al.

Summary: The molecular basis and complexity of coronavirus RNA-synthesizing machinery is still not fully understood. Recent research has focused on deciphering and understanding the structures, functions, and interactions of the subunits involved in SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription. Both viral and host factors play a crucial role in coordinating RNA translation, replication, and transcription, making them potential targets for antiviral therapy.

The oral protease inhibitor (PF-07321332) protects Syrian hamsters against infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

Rana Abdelnabi et al.

Summary: There is an urgent need for potent and selective antivirals against SARS-CoV-2. Pfizer has developed PF-07321332 (PF-332), a powerful inhibitor of the viral main protease (Mpro, 3CLpro), which can be taken orally and is currently in clinical development. In this study, it was found that PF-332 has equal in vitro activity against the four SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and can completely halt replication of the alpha variant in human airway epithelial cells. The treatment with PF-332 protected Syrian Golden hamsters against infection with the beta and delta variants and prevented transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.617.2) variant to untreated co-housed sentinels.

A distinct ssDNA/RNA binding interface in the Nsp9 protein from SARS-CoV-2

Serene El-Kamand et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2, a novel and highly infectious RNA virus, relies on the Nsp9 protein for RNA binding during replication. Recent studies using NMR and BLI techniques have revealed a distinct binding interface between Nsp9 and RNA, providing insights into the molecular details of these interactions. This sheds light on the structural characteristics of the Nsp9-RNA complex within the coronavirus family.

Backbone chemical shift assignments for the SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein Nsp9: intermediate (ms - μs) dynamics in the C-terminal helix at the dimer interface

Garry W. Buchko et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 Nsp9 protein in solution and its potential ligand-binding surfaces through chemical shift perturbation studies. By extensively assigning NMR chemical shifts, the research reveals missing amide resonances in the C-terminal region of the protein, suggesting intermediate motion or heterogeneity in this area.

Structural Biology of Nanobodies against the Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2

Qilong Tang et al.

Summary: Nanobodies, derived from heavy-chain-only subclass of Camelid immunogloblins, are small-sized molecules with high affinity and stability, making them unique targeting reagents in biomedical sciences. With the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, nanobodies directed against the viral Spike protein have shown promising results in neutralizing the virus, with some agents already undergoing clinical trials. Researchers are studying the structural features guiding nanobody recognition to develop effective treatments against the pandemic.

Thomas Guettler et al.

Summary: Monoclonal anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulins are effective in treating COVID-19, but their production in mammalian cells is not scalable. This study isolated 45 infection-blocking VHH antibodies from alpaca immune libraries, with one particularly effective VHH antibody capable of neutralizing the virus at low concentrations and showing strong binding to the Spike protein in different conformations. Additionally, the research identified VHH antibodies that can tolerate immune-escape mutations, as well as fold-promoting nanobodies that could simplify vaccine production and adaptation to viral mutations.
