Palmitic Acid Promotes Antiviral Innate Immunity via ZDHHC20‐Mediated CMPK2 Palmitoylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metabolites have important functions in innate immune activation and regulation. Wang et al. uncover metabolic regulation of antiviral immunity through CMPK2 palmitoylation, which regulates CMPK2 mitochondrial localization and is promoted by ZDHHC20 but reversed by PPT1, inhibition of which antagonizes viral infection in mice.

SARS-CoV-2 spike fusion peptide trans interaction with phosphatidylserine lipid triggers membrane fusion for viral entry

mBio
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike is the fusion machine for host cell entry. Still, the mechanism by which spike protein interacts with the target lipid membrane to facilitate membrane fusion during entry is not fully ...

SARS-COV-2 Spike Protein: Characteristics and Treatments

Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the family of beta coronavirus. The virus led to the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020. Characterized by its Spike (S) proteins, SARS-CoV-2 can recognize the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.

Differential maturation and subcellular localization of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus surface proteins S, M and E [PDF]

, 2005
Post-translational modifications and correct subcellular localization of viral structural proteins are prerequisites for assembly and budding of enveloped viruses. Coronaviruses, like the severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated virus (SARS-CoV), bud

RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines From DPP4‐Using Merbecoviruses Elicit a Cross‐Reactive Antibody Response but Limited Cross‐Protective Immunity

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles displaying RBD‐SD1 from MERS‐CoV, NL140422, and HKU4 elicited robust and cross‐reactive IgG responses in mice. Only MERS‐CoV RBD‐SD1 induced neutralizing antibodies against MERS‐CoV and protected human DPP4 mice from a MERS‐CoV challenge, indicating conserved serologic but limited cross‐neutralizing epitopes.

Determinants of susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection in murine ACE2

Journal of Virology
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a receptor to enter host cells, and primary receptor recognition of the spike protein is a major determinant of the host range of SARS-CoV-2 ...
