Abstract A strategy for pandemic preparedness is the development of antivirals against a wide set viral targets with complementary mechanisms action. SARS-CoV-2 nsp3-mac1 macrodomain ADP-ribosylhydrolase activity, which counteracts host immune response. Targeting virus’ immunomodulatory functionality offers differentiated to inhibit compared approved therapeutics, target replication directly. Here we report fragment-based lead generation campaign guided by computational approaches. We discover tool compounds activity at low nanomolar concentrations, and responsive structure-activity relationships, high selectivity, drug-like properties. Using our inhibitors, show that inhibition increases ADP-ribosylation, but surprisingly does not translate demonstrable antiviral in cell culture iPSC-derived pneumocyte models. Further, no synergistic observed combination interferon gamma, main protease inhibitor, nor papain-like inhibitor. Our results question extent targeting modulation innate immunity-driven ADP-ribosylation can influence replication. Moreover, these findings suggest might be suitable therapeutics development.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 has caused millions of deaths since its emergence in 2019. Innate immune antagonism by lethal CoVs such as SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for optimal replication and pathogenesis. The conserved nonstructural protein 15 (nsp15) endoribonuclease (EndoU) limits activation double-stranded (ds)RNA-induced pathways, including interferon (IFN) signaling, kinase R (PKR), oligoadenylate synthetase/ribonuclease L (OAS/RNase L) during diverse CoV infections murine Middle East (MERS)-CoV.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has made it clear that further development of antiviral therapies will be needed.

Despite unprecedented efforts, our therapeutic arsenal against SARS-CoV-2 remains limited. The conserved macrodomain 1 (Mac1) in NSP3 is an enzyme exhibiting ADP-ribosylhydrolase activity and a possible drug target. To determine the role of Mac1 catalytic viral replication, we generated recombinant viruses replicons encoding catalytically inactive domain by mutating critical asparagine active site. While substitution to alanine (N40A) reduced ~10-fold, mutations aspartic acid (N40D) ~100-fold relative wild-type. Importantly, N40A mutation rendered unstable vitro lowered expression levels bacterial mammalian cells. When incorporated into molecular clones, N40D mutant only modestly affected fitness immortalized cell lines, but replication human airway organoids 10-fold. In mice, replicated at >1000-fold lower compared wild-type virus while inducing robust interferon response; all animals infected with survived infection.

Abstract Host-pathogen conflicts are crucibles of molecular innovation. Selection for immunity to pathogens has driven the evolution sophisticated mechanisms throughout biology, including in bacteria that must evade their viral predators known as bacteriophages. Here, we characterize a widely distributed anti-phage defense system, CmdTAC, provides robust against infection by T-even family phages. Our results support model which CmdC detects sensing capsid proteins, ultimately leading activation toxic ADP-ribosyltransferase effector protein, CmdT. We show newly synthesized protein triggers dissociation chaperone from CmdTAC complex, destabilization and degradation antitoxin CmdA, with consequent liberation CmdT ADP-ribosyltransferase. Strikingly, does not target DNA, or structured RNA, targets other ADP-ribosyltransferases.

All coronaviruses (CoVs) encode for a conserved macrodomain (Mac1) located in nonstructural protein 3 (nsp3). Mac1 is an ADP-ribosylhydrolase that binds and hydrolyzes mono-ADP-ribose from target proteins. Previous work has shown important virus replication pathogenesis. Within Mac1, there are several regions highly across CoVs, including the GIF (glycine-isoleucine-phenylalanine) motif. To determine how biochemical activities of these residues impact CoV replication, isoleucine phenylalanine were mutated to alanine (I-A/F-A) both recombinant proteins murine hepatitis (MHV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), severe acute 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The F-A mutant had ADP-ribose binding and/or hydrolysis defects led attenuated pathogenesis cell culture mice. In contrast, I-A mutations normal enzyme activity enhanced binding. Despite increased binding, MERS-CoV SARS-CoV-2 mice, indicating this residue acts as gate controls efficient replication.
