Activation of the SARS-CoV-2 NSP14 3′-5′ exoribonuclease by NSP10 and response to antiviral inhibitors

Amanda A. Riccio et al.

Summary: Understanding the core replication complex of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for the development of antiviral therapeutics. The researchers developed a simple protocol for the expression and purification of NSP10 and NSP14, and successfully assembled a purified NSP10/14 complex. They found that NSP10 enhances the activity and stability of NSP14. The study also investigated the effects of two small molecules on NSP10/14 activity.

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.

Mechanism of reaction of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from SARS-CoV-2

Juan Aranda et al.

Summary: We used molecular dynamics, statistical mechanics, and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations to elucidate the replication mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Our findings showed that the viral RdRp is highly processive and has a higher catalytic rate of incorporation compared to human RNA Pol II. Furthermore, we observed that remdesivir, an antiviral nucleotide, is incorporated more slowly into the RNA than ATP, suggesting it is not a competitive inhibitor. Overall, this study provides a detailed understanding of the replication mechanism of RdRp.

SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase as a therapeutic target for COVID-19

Ilaria Vicenti et al.

Summary: The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic requires urgent prevention and treatment strategies. Repurposing drugs approved for other indications or successfully tested for safety and tolerability is an attractive strategy to quickly provide effective medication for severe cases. While vaccination is awaited, repurposed drugs could help treat severe cases, and improving knowledge of RdRp activity may aid in drug development for SARS-CoV-2 and future pandemics.

Infection fatality ratio and case fatality ratio of COVID-19

Guangze Luo et al.

Summary: The infection fatality ratio (IFR) is a crucial epidemiological parameter for assessing the risk of death per infection, but estimating the IFR for COVID-19 requires avoiding methods that underestimate the true situation. Research suggests that in areas with extensive testing, RT-PCR-based case fatality ratio (CFR) can serve as a reliable indicator of the lethality of COVID-19.

Mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 polymerase stalling by remdesivir

Goran Kokic et al.

Summary: Remdesivir is the only FDA-approved drug for treating COVID-19 patients, working by inhibiting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of coronaviruses. It hinders RNA synthesis and impairs proofreading by the viral 3'-exonuclease, leading to a stalled replication process.

Structure of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in the presence of favipiravir-RTP

Katerina Naydenova et al.

Summary: The structure of the RNA polymerase inhibitor favipiravir bound to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been determined, revealing its binding mode at the catalytic site. The inhibitor is weakly incorporated into the RNA primer strand, leading to suppression of RNA replication in the presence of natural nucleotides.

Immunological mechanisms of vaccine-induced protection against COVID-19 in humans

Manish Sadarangani et al.

Summary: Most COVID-19 vaccines aim to induce immune responses, particularly neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), against the spike protein of the virus. mRNA vaccines have shown efficacy after just one dose, while adenovirus vaccines elicit polyfunctional antibodies and strong T cell responses. These findings suggest that protection may not solely rely on NAbs but also involve other immune effector mechanisms.

Summary: This study investigated the variation in COVID-19 outcomes among NHS hospital trusts and regions in England from March to July 2020. It found that the differences in in-hospital mortality rates between trusts and regions were relatively modest after adjusting for covariates. Trusts with more beds and a higher proportion of patients admitted to critical care had lower in-hospital mortality rates.
