  • Human Rotavirus Structure, Specific Immunity And
    STUDIES OF HUMAN ROTAVIRUS CANDIDATE NON-REPLICATING VACCINES AND INNATE IMMUNITY IN A GNOTOBIOTIC PIG MODEL OF HUMAN ROTAVIRUS DISEASE DISSERTATION Presented as Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ana María González, M.D * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee Approved by Distinguished University Professor Linda J. Saif, Adviser ________________________ Adviser Adjunct Assistant Professor Lijuan Yuan Graduate Program of Veterinary Preventive Associate Professor Kenneth W. Theil Medicine Professor Caroline Whitacre ABSTRACT Rotavirus is the major cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea in children and young infants worldwide. The mortality rates reach 600,000 annually, mainly in developing countries and vaccination is an important preventive measure. The first two objectives of my PhD research were to produce and test a combination of replicating and non-replicating human rotavirus (HRV) vaccines or non-replicating HRV vaccines in the gnotobiotic pig model to minimize or avoid the use of more reactogenic live HRV vaccines. The third objective was to assess the mucosal and systemic dendritic cell responses after RV infection because these responses are largely uncharacterized but are important in understanding immunity induced after infection and for design of vaccines. The neonatal gnotobiotic pig is susceptible to HRV for more than 8 weeks and their gnotobiotic status assures that wild type rotavirus infection does not occur during vaccination. Additionally gnotobiotic pigs are optimal for the study of innate immune responses to HRV in-vivo by excluding any confounding factors (e.g. commensal flora. other pathogens etc). For the first objective, gnotobiotic pigs were vaccinated priming with a peroral (PO) live attenuated human rotavirus (AttHRV) and boosting (2x) with a non-replicating 2/6 virus-like particles (VLPs) intranasally (IN) using ISCOM as adjuvant.

Abstract: Viruses rely on the cellular machinery to replicate and propagate within newly infected individuals. Thus, viral entry into the host cell sets up the stage for productive infection and disease progression. Different viruses exploit distinct cellular receptors for viral entry; however, numerous viral internalization mechanisms are shared by very diverse viral families. Such is the case of Ebola virus (EBOV), which belongs to the filoviridae family, and the recently emerged coronavirus SARS- CoV-2. These two highly pathogenic viruses can exploit very similar endocytic routes to productively infect target cells. This convergence has sped up the experimental assessment of clinical therapies against SARS-CoV-2 previously found to be effective for EBOV, and facilitated their expedited clinical testing. Here we review how the viral entry processes and subsequent replication and egress strategies of EBOV and SARS-CoV-2 can overlap, and how our previous knowledge on antivirals, Citation: Muñoz-Basagoiti, J.; antibodies, and vaccines against EBOV has boosted the search for effective countermeasures against Perez-Zsolt, D.; Carrillo, J.; Blanco, J.; the new coronavirus.

  • A SARS-Cov-2-Human Protein-Protein Interaction Map Reveals Drug Targets and Potential Drug-Repurposing
    A SARS-CoV-2-Human Protein-Protein Interaction Map Reveals Drug Targets and Potential Drug-Repurposing Supplementary Information Supplementary Discussion All SARS-CoV-2 protein and gene functions described in the subnetwork appendices, including the text below and the text found in the individual bait subnetworks, are based on the functions of homologous genes from other coronavirus species. These are mainly from SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but when available and applicable other related viruses were used to provide insight into function. The SARS-CoV-2 proteins and genes listed here were designed and researched based on the gene alignments provided by Chan et. al. 1 2020 .​ Though we are reasonably sure the genes here are well annotated, we want to note that not every ​ protein has been verified to be expressed or functional during SARS-CoV-2 infections, either in vitro or in vivo. ​ ​ In an effort to be as comprehensive and transparent as possible, we are reporting the sub-networks of these functionally unverified proteins along with the other SARS-CoV-2 proteins. In such cases, we have made notes within the text below, and on the corresponding subnetwork figures, and would advise that more caution be taken when examining these proteins and their molecular interactions. Due to practical limits in our sample preparation and data collection process, we were unable to generate data for proteins corresponding to Nsp3, Orf7b, and Nsp16. Therefore these three genes have been left out of the following literature review of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins and the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) identified in this study.

  • Functional Studies of the Coronavirus Nonstructural Proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU*
    REVIEW ARTICLE Functional studies of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU* Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Microbes and Functional Genomics, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, P. R. China. *Correspondence: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.37175/stemedicine.v1i2.39 ABSTRACT Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV, have caused contagious and fatal respiratory diseases in humans worldwide. Notably, the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly in early 2020 and became a global pandemic. The nonstructural proteins of coronaviruses are critical components of the viral replication machinery. They function in viral RNA transcription and replication, as well as counteracting the host innate immunity. Studies of these proteins not only revealed their essential role during viral infection but also help the design of novel drugs targeting the viral replication and immune evasion machinery. In this review, we summarize the functional studies of each nonstructural proteins and compare the similarities and differences between nonstructural proteins from different coronaviruses. Keywords: Coronavirus · SARS-CoV-2 · COVID-19 · Nonstructural proteins · Drug discovery Introduction genes (18). The first two major ORFs (ORF1a, ORF1ab) The coronavirus (CoV) outbreaks among human are the replicase genes, and the other four encode viral populations have caused three major epidemics structural proteins that comprise the essential protein worldwide, since the beginning of the 21st century. These components of the coronavirus virions, including the spike are the epidemics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome surface glycoprotein (S), envelope protein (E), matrix (SARS) in 2003 (1, 2), the Middle East respiratory protein (M), and nucleocapsid protein (N) (14, 19, 20).

  • Emergence of Human G2P[4] Rotaviruses in the Post-Vaccination Era in South Korea: Footprints of Multiple Interspecies Re-Assortm
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Emergence of Human G2P[4] Rotaviruses in the Post-vaccination Era in South Korea: Footprints Received: 6 November 2017 Accepted: 5 April 2018 of Multiple Interspecies Re- Published: xx xx xxxx assortment Events Hien Dang Thanh1, Van Trung Tran1, Inseok Lim2 & Wonyong Kim1 After the introduction of two global rotavirus vaccines, RotaTeq in 2007 and Rotarix in 2008 in South Korea, G1[P8] rotavirus was the major rotavirus genotype in the country until 2012. However, in this study, an emergence of G2P[4] as the dominant genotype during the 2013 to 2015 season has been reported. Genetic analysis revealed that these viruses had typical DS-1-like genotype constellation and showed evidence of re-assortment in one or more genome segments, including the incorporation of NSP4 genes from strains B-47/2008 from a cow and R4/Haryana/2007 from a bufalo in India, and the VP1 and VP3 genes from strain GO34/1999 from a goat in Bangladesh. Compared to the G2 RotaTeq vaccine strain, 17–24 amino acid changes, specifcally A87T, D96N, S213D, and S242N substitutions in G2 epitopes, were observed. These results suggest that multiple interspecies re-assortment events might have contributed to the emergence of G2P[4] rotaviruses in the post-vaccination era in South Korea. Group A rotavirus (RVA) is the etiological agent primarily responsible for gastroenteritis in young humans and many other animal species. RVA, a member of the Reoviridae family, is an infectious virion that consists of a triple-layered icosahedral capsid containing a genome of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA in it.

Saier, Jr. * Department of Molecular Biology, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0116, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (N.A.W.); [email protected] (M.H.S.J.); Tel.: +1-650-763-6784 (N.A.W.); +1-858-534-4084 (M.H.S.J.) Abstract: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel epidemic strain of Betacoronavirus that is responsible for the current viral pandemic, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19), a global health crisis. Other epidemic Betacoronaviruses include the 2003 SARS-CoV-1 and the 2009 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), the genomes of which, particularly that of SARS-CoV-1, are similar to that of the 2019 SARS-CoV-2. In this extensive review, we document the most recent information on Coronavirus proteins, with emphasis on the membrane proteins in the Coronaviridae family. We include information on their structures, functions, and participation in pathogenesis. While the shared proteins among the different coronaviruses may vary in structure and function, they all seem to be multifunctional, a common theme interconnecting these viruses. Many transmembrane proteins encoded within the SARS-CoV-2 genome play important roles in the infection cycle while others have functions yet to be understood. We compare the various structural and nonstructural proteins within the Coronaviridae family to elucidate potential overlaps Citation: Wong, N.A.; Saier, M.H., Jr.

There are no antiviral drugs with proven clinical efcacy for the treatment of COVID-19, nor are there any vaccines that prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, and eforts to develop drugs and vaccines are hampered by the limited knowledge of the molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells. Here we cloned, tagged and expressed 26 of the 29 SARS-CoV-2 proteins in human cells and identifed the human proteins that physically associated with each of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins using afnity-purifcation mass spectrometry, identifying 332 high-confdence protein–protein interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and human proteins. Among these, we identify 66 druggable human proteins or host factors targeted by 69 compounds (of which, 29 drugs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, 12 are in clinical trials and 28 are preclinical compounds). We screened a subset of these in multiple viral assays and found two sets of pharmacological agents that displayed antiviral activity: inhibitors of mRNA translation and predicted regulators of the sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors.

It consists of epithelial cells closely connected by intercellular junctions, selective gates which control paracellular difusion of solutes, ions and macromolecules across the epithelium and keep out pathogens. Rotavirus is one of the major enteric viruses causing severe diarrhea in humans and animals. It specifcally infects the enterocytes on villi of small intestines. The polarity of rotavirus replication in their target enterocytes and the role of intestinal epithelial integrity were examined in the present study. Treatment with EGTA, a drug that chelates calcium and disrupts the intercel- lular junctions, (i) signifcantly enhanced the infection of rotavirus in primary enterocytes, (ii) increased the binding of rotavirus to enterocytes, but (iii) considerably blocked internalization of rotavirus. After internalization, rotavirus was resistant to EGTA treatment. To investigate the polarity of rotavirus infection, the primary enterocytes were cultured in a transwell system and infected with rotavirus at either the apical or the basolateral surface. Rotavirus preferentially infected enterocytes at the basolateral surface. Restriction of infection through apical inoculation was overcome by EGTA treatment. Overall, our fndings demonstrate that integrity of the intestinal epithelium is crucial in the host’s innate defense against rotavirus infection. In addition, the intercellular receptor is located basolaterally and disruption of intercellular junctions facilitates the binding of rotavirus to their receptor at the basolateral surface.
