Suramin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein genome packaging function
Virus Res. 2023 Sep 11:199221. doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2023.199221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is fading, however its etiologic agent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues posing - despite the availability of licensed vaccines - a global health threat, due to the potential emergence of vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants. This makes the development of new drugs against COVID-19 a persistent urgency and sets as research priority the validation of novel therapeutic targets within the SARS-CoV-2 proteome. Among these, a promising one is the...

Coronavirus 2'-O-Methyltransferase: A Promising Therapeutic Target
We describe the attenuation phenotypes of NSP16-mutant CoVs, the roles of MDA5 and IFITs in sensing and antagonizing viral RNA lacking 2'O methylation, and the dependence on 2'-O-methylation in other virus families. We also detail the growing body of research into targeting 2'-O-methylation for therapeutics or as a platform for live attenuated vaccines. Beyond its role in RNA capping, NSP16 may have yet uncharacterized importance to CoV replication, highlighting the need for continued studies into NSP16 functions. Understanding the full contribution of NSP16 to the replicative fitness of CoVs will better inform the develop...

TWiV 1037: Antibodies, the good (CoV), the bad (Ad), the beautiful
TWiV reviews evidence that symptomatic adenovirus infection leads to thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, and production of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies similar to the rare disorder seen after immunization with adenoviral vectored COVID-19 vaccines, and a monoclonal antibody isolated from a SARS survivor, following vaccination with a SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine, that neutralizes a broad collection of ACE2-binding sarbecoviruses.

Intranasal inoculation of female BALB/c mice with replication-deficient human adenovirus type 5 expressing SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein aggravates lung pathology upon re-encountering the antigen
Virus Res. 2023 Aug 16:199201. doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2023.199201. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPreclinical studies indicate that SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N)-based vaccines, along with other viral protein(s), confer protection in various animal models against infection by SARS-CoV-2 ancestral virus and variants of concern. However, the optimal vaccination procedure and the role of N-specific host adaptive immune responses remain elusive. Here, we report that intranasal inoculation with replication-deficient human adenovirus type 5 expressing SARS-CoV-2 N protein (Ad5-N) conferred no protection in the lung of female BALB/...

TWiV 1035: Poxvirus wars, warp speed COVID-19 vaccine rollout
TWiV dissects a study of COVID-19 vaccination which shows that the timing of initial rollout affects disease outcomes more substantially than final coverage or degree of socioeconomic disparity, and discovery of a novel cellular defense comprising a nuclease that is activated by poxvirus infection and cleaves a specific tRNA molecule to inhibit protein synthesis.

Expression and immunogenicity of recombinant porcine epidemic diarrhea virus Nsp9
In this study, PEDV Nsp9 protein fused with MBP protein and His-tag were expressed and purified in Escherichia coli. Furthermore, immunization of MBP-Nsp9 enhances both humoral and cellular immunity responses as compared with that of His-Nsp9 protein. Finally, the swine immunization showed that Nsp9 protein could stimulate the swine immunity system to carry out humoral immunity, and the generated antibody could inhibit the proliferation of PEDV in Vero cells. Altogether, our data provide direct evidence for the immunogenicity of PEDV Nsp9, which sheds light on the future developments of anti-PEDV drugs and vaccines for PED...
