SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF8 is secreted extracellularly as a glycoprotein homodimer

Kazuhiro Matsuoka et al.

Summary: This study established an ORF8 expression system in 293T cells and found that ORF8 exists as a secreted homodimer. The expression of ORF8 does not affect the total amounts of MHC-I, ACE2, and CoV-2 S proteins, but reduces the expression of cell surface MHC-I protein. Additionally, ORF8 does not have significant stimulatory effects in human macrophages.

Molecular Mechanism of SARS-CoVs Orf6 Targeting the Rae1-Nup98 Complex to Compete With mRNA Nuclear Export

Tinghan Li et al.

Summary: The study investigates the role and mechanism of accessory protein Orf6 in the inhibition of host interferon signaling in coronaviruses. Orf6 interacts with the Rae1-Nup98 complex to inhibit the nuclear export of mRNA. The results show that SARS-CoV Orf6 occupies the potential mRNA-binding groove of the Rae1-Nup98 complex, and the highly conserved methionine (M58) in SARS-CoVs Orf6 plays a critical role.

Viral Mimicry of Interleukin-17A by SARS-CoV-2 ORF8

Xin Wu et al.

Summary: Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants lacking open reading frame 8 (ORF8) have milder infection and disease outcome. The study reveals that secreted ORF8 protein mimics host IL-17 to activate IL-17 receptors A and C, inducing a stronger inflammatory response than host IL-17A. This provides molecular insights into the role of ORF8 in COVID-19 pathogenesis and serves as a potential therapeutic target.

Kathy Leung et al.

Summary: Two new lineages of SARS-CoV-2 with the N501Y mutation in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein have spread rapidly in the United Kingdom. The 501Y lineage without amino acid deletion Delta 69/Delta 70 was estimated to be 10% more transmissible than the 501N lineage, while the 501Y lineage with amino acid deletion Delta 69/Delta 70 was estimated to be 75% more transmissible than the 501N lineage.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a interacts efficiently with human CD14(+) monocytes, triggering inflammatory responses such as decreased HLA expression and increased production of proinflammatory cytokines. This suggests that ORF7a may be a key immunomodulating factor in the severe immune response seen in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The study determined the crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 (S84) and bat coronavirus RaTG13 ORF8 variant, revealing differences in conformations of residues in the Ig-like domain. It was found that the Cys20 residue in ORF8 is responsible for forming the covalent disulfide-linked dimer in crystal packing and in vitro biochemical conditions. Additionally, immune cell-binding assays showed different interaction capabilities of various ORF8 proteins with human CD14(+) monocytes, suggesting potential influence on disease-related immune responses.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection results in the accumulation of nuclear mRNA, attributed to the accessory protein ORF6 which interacts with Rae1 and Nup98 to trap host mRNA in the nucleus. Both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 block the nuclear import of host proteins through interactions with Rae1 and Nup98, potentially preventing host cells from responding to viral infection.
