An Update on the Current State of SARS-CoV-2 Mac1 Inhibitors
Non-structural protein 3 (nsp3) from all coronaviruses (CoVs) contains a conserved macrodomain, known as Mac1, that has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for CoVs due to its critical role in viral pathogenesis. Mac1 is an ADP-ribose binding

Identification of a series of pyrrolo-pyrimidine-based SARS-CoV-2 Mac1 inhibitors that repress coronavirus replication. [PDF]
Coronaviruses (CoVs) can emerge from zoonotic sources and cause severe diseases in humans and animals. CoVs encode for a macrodomain (Mac1) that binds to and removes ADP-ribose from target proteins.

Microglial MAC1 receptor and PI3K are essential in mediating β-amyloid peptide-induced microglial activation and subsequent neurotoxicity [PDF]
Background β-Amyloid peptide (Aβ) is a major protein in the brain associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of macrophage antigen-1 (MAC1) receptor, an integrin scavenger receptor in ...

Mutations differentially affecting the coronavirus Mac1 ADP-ribose binding and hydrolysis activities indicate that it promotes multiple stages of the viral replication cycle [PDF]
All coronaviruses (CoVs) encode a conserved macrodomain, termed Mac1, in non-structural protein 3 (nsp3) that binds and hydrolyzes ADP-ribose covalently attached to proteins.

Molecular basis for loss of virulence in Magnaporthe oryzae strain AM16. [PDF]
The rapid virulence variation of Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) to rice is a big challenge for rice blast control. Even though many studies have been done by scientists all over the world, the mechanism of virulence variation in M. oryzae remains elusive.
