Title: Mechanism and inhibition of the papainâ€like protease, PLpro, of SARSâ€CoVâ€2 Cord-id: 6qmx2kqh Document date: 2020_8_26
ID: 6qmx2kqh
Snippet: The SARSâ€CoVâ€2 coronavirus encodes an essential papainâ€like protease domain as part of its nonâ€structural protein (nsp)â€3, namely SARS2 PLpro, that cleaves the viral polyprotein, but also removes ubiquitinâ€like ISG15 protein modifications as well as, with lower activity, Lys48â€linked polyubiquitin. Structures of PLpro bound to ubiquitin and ISG15 reveal that the S1 ubiquitinâ€binding site is responsible for high ISG15 activity, while the S2 binding site provides Lys48 chain specif
Document: The SARSâ€CoVâ€2 coronavirus encodes an essential papainâ€like protease domain as part of its nonâ€structural protein (nsp)â€3, namely SARS2 PLpro, that cleaves the viral polyprotein, but also removes ubiquitinâ€like ISG15 protein modifications as well as, with lower activity, Lys48â€linked polyubiquitin. Structures of PLpro bound to ubiquitin and ISG15 reveal that the S1 ubiquitinâ€binding site is responsible for high ISG15 activity, while the S2 binding site provides Lys48 chain specificity and cleavage efficiency. To identify PLpro inhibitors in a repurposing approach, screening of 3,727 unique approved drugs and clinical compounds against SARS2 PLpro identified no compounds that inhibited PLpro consistently or that could be validated in counterscreens. More promisingly, nonâ€covalent small molecule SARS PLpro inhibitors also target SARS2 PLpro, prevent selfâ€processing of nsp3 in cells and display high potency and excellent antiviral activity in a SARSâ€CoVâ€2 infection model.
