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. Our data validate as promising target develop antivirals.

COVID-19 has proved to be a global health crisis during the pandemic, and emerging JN.1 variant is potential threat. Therefore, finding alternative antivirals of utmost priority. In current report, we present synthesis new anti-viral pyrazoline compounds. Here report chemical scheme where β-aryl β-anilino ketones react with phenyl hydrazine in potassium hydroxide give corresponding 3,5-diarylpyrazoline. The protocol applicable variety β-amino tolerates several functional groups. This method efficient proceeds regioselectivity since β-Anilino group acts as protecting for alkenes chalcones. We identified NSP3-microdomain (Mac-1) SARS-CoV-2 putative target newly synthesized triaryl-2-pyrazoline molecular dynamics simulation-based free energy estimation suggests compounds 7a, 7d, 7 g, 7i, 7k, L promising Mac-1 inhibitors. detailed structural inspection MD simulation trajectories sheds light on involved Mac-1. data presented here expected guide design development better anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapies.

ABSTRACT All coronaviruses (CoVs) encode for a conserved macrodomain (Mac1) located in non-structural protein 3. 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 glycine-isoleucine-phenylalanine motif. While we previously demonstrated importance of glycine residue CoV pathogenesis, impact isoleucine phenylalanine residues remains unknown. To determine how biochemical activities these replication, were mutated to alanine (I-A/F-A) both recombinant proteins murine hepatitis virus, 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 correlated with attenuated pathogenesis MERS-CoV SARS-CoV-2 viruses cell culture mice. In contrast, I-A normal enzyme activity enhanced binding. Despite only demonstrating increased binding, mice, indicating this acts as gate controls efficient replication. These results highlight function provide unique insight into macrodomains control promote viral IMPORTANCE (CoV) counters host ADP-ribosyltransferases critical As such, potential therapeutic CoV-induced disease. However, lack basic knowledge its pocket contribute virological functions.

Aberrant adenosine diphosphate-ribose (ADP)-ribosylation of proteins and nucleic acids is associated with multiple disease processes such as infections chronic inflammatory diseases. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)/ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) family members promote mono- or poly-ADP-ribosylation. Although evidence has linked PARPs/ARTs macrophages in the context inflammation, underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This review provides an overview literature focusing on roles PARP1/ARTD1, PARP7/ARTD14, PARP9/ARTD9, PARP14/ARTD8 macrophages. regulate changes during not only via catalytic modifications but also non-catalytic mechanisms. Untangling complex mechanisms, by which modulate macrophage phenotype, providing molecular bases for development new therapeutics require implementation innovative technologies.
