Epidemic and pandemic outbreaks of respiratory illness caused by three different coronaviruses over the past two decades have underscored the importance of pharmaceutical agents that could offer broad-spectrum activity across this family of pathogens. Two coronavirus inhibitors characterized by broad in vitro potency were synthesized and studied with X-ray crystallography. Their high-resolution structures in complex with six α-, β-, and γ-coronaviruses delineate the requirements for pan-coronavirus inhibition by drug-like molecules targeting the S1-S4 subsites of the viral 3CL-protease, which performs a critical function during coronavirus polyprotein processing. Anchoring by polar contacts in S1, utilization of hydrophobic packing in S2, compact substitutions in S3, and mid-sized hydrophobic modifications in S4 are all factors contributing to inhibitor activity. Interactions in S2 are modulated by the amino acid identity of three key residues, and in S4, where sequence conservation is the lowest, pan-coronavirus coverage is facilitated by solvent exposure of the diverging side chains.

Despite the continual emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants and increasing diversity within the receptor binding domain (RBD), some antibody responses that are directed to conserved regions can display cross-reactivity against variants. We previously isolated an RBD-directed monoclonal antibody (084-7D) from a Beta-infected donor that neutralized Beta and emerging Omicron variants. Here, we solved a high-resolution crystal structure of the 084-7D Fab in complex with the Beta RBD. These data revealed an epitope overlapping both the ACE2 binding site and those of other class 1 antibodies. Furthermore, the epitope includes highly conserved residues, Q409, D420, and Y489, that are present in recent Omicron variants. The N417 residue that emerged with Beta and has since persisted is tolerated within the epitope of 084-7D, explaining the preferential neutralization of contemporaneous N417-containing variants. These structural data defined the mechanism for cross-reactivity of a Beta-elicited neutralizing antibody, potentially informing the design of future broadly reactive SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics.
尽管SARS-CoV-2变体不断出现,并且受体结合域(RBD)内的多样性不断增加,但一些针对保守区域的抗体反应可以对变体表现出交叉反应性。我们之前从β感染的供体中分离出一种rbd定向单克隆抗体(084-7D),该抗体可以中和β和新出现的Omicron变体。在这里,我们用Beta RBD解决了084-7D Fab复合物的高分辨率晶体结构。这些数据揭示了ACE2结合位点和其他1类抗体的表位重叠。此外,表位包括高度保守的残基Q409、D420和Y489,这些残基存在于最近的Omicron变体中。与β一起出现并持续存在的N417残基在084-7D的表位内是耐受的,这解释了同时含有N417的变异的优先中和。这些结构数据定义了β诱导的中和抗体交叉反应性的机制,可能为未来广泛反应性SARS-CoV-2疗法的设计提供信息。

Tankyrases are poly-ADP-ribosyltransferases that orchestrate numerous biological processes involved in disease. Their established regulatory roles, particularly within the WNT/β-catenin pathway, have driven notable drug discovery efforts aimed at inhibiting their catalytic activity. Targeting tankyrases’ interaction with proteins through their ARC domains represents an alternative strategy to be explored as a therapeutic approach against specific protein-protein interactions. In this article, we employed a pre-established FRET-based assay to screen the EU-OPENSCREEN libraries for identification of ARC4 inhibitors. We discovered a series of pyrrolone-based compounds, and we synthesized compound S8 (ARCher-142), which binds selectively to ARC4 with a potency of 8 μM. NMR analysis and X-ray crystallography allowed us to identify the binding site and to rationalize the observed selectivity. Despite binding exclusively to ARC4, the inhibitor can attenuate the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway in cells. Our work demonstrates that targeting single ARC domains is possible, offering an inhibition approach tailored to tankyrase ARC4.
tankyase是一种多聚adp -核糖基转移酶,它协调了许多与疾病有关的生物过程。它们已确立的调节作用,特别是在WNT/β-catenin通路中,已推动了旨在抑制其催化活性的显著药物发现工作。靶向坦克酶通过其ARC结构域与蛋白质的相互作用代表了一种替代策略,作为一种针对特定蛋白质相互作用的治疗方法。在本文中,我们采用预先建立的基于fret的检测方法筛选EU-OPENSCREEN文库以鉴定ARC4抑制剂。我们发现了一系列吡咯酮类化合物,并合成了化合物S8 (ARCher-142),该化合物与ARC4选择性结合,效价为8 μM。核磁共振分析和x射线晶体学使我们能够确定结合位点并使观察到的选择性合理化。尽管只与ARC4结合,但该抑制剂可以减弱细胞中的WNT/β-catenin信号通路。我们的工作表明,靶向单个ARC结构域是可能的,提供了一种针对坦克酶ARC4的抑制方法。

Unicellular organisms respond to a changing environment through physical and chemical sensory cascades. Sensory rhodopsin II (SRII) is a blue-light receptor, which initiates a negative phototaxis response in the host archaea. Here, we apply time-resolved X-ray solution scattering (TR-XSS) to characterize the mechanism of signal transduction by SRII and explore how light-induced structural changes are modified when SRII is in complex with its transducer protein (HtrII). TR-XSS difference data are modeled as arising from an outward movement of helices E and F in combination with modest changes associated with helices C and the extracellular regions of helices D and E. The magnitude of the displacement of helices E and F is similar irrespective of whether or not HtrII is present. In combination with structural predictions of the full SRII:HtrII complex, TR-XSS provides insight into how conformational changes may be communicated from SRII to the signaling domain of HtrII.

Alphafold 3-guided insights into the Importinβ: Importin7 heterodimer interaction and its binding to histone H1 Alphafold 3引导的Importinβ: Importin7异源二聚体相互作用及其与组蛋白H1结合的见解

The nuclear import of H1 linker histones is facilitated by a heterodimer of the transport receptors Importinβ (Impβ) and Importin7 (Imp7). The interaction between them is mediated by a stretch of C-terminal residues of Imp7 essential also for Imp7 activation by Impβ. An Impβ:Imp7:H1 complex model was predicted by Alphafold3 and validated using cross-linking data, isothermal titration calorimetry, and pull-down experiments, providing robust support for its accuracy. This model positions the H1 globular domain within the central cavity of Imp7. Refinement of this atomic model against a published cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) map demonstrated significantly improved correspondence compared to the earlier interpretation, which placed the H1 globular domain within Impβ. This enhanced structural consistency further substantiates the accuracy of the AI-driven prediction. Moreover, a detailed analysis confirmed the extended C-terminal stretch of Imp7 harboring a nucleoporin-like binding (NlB) region with two FXFG-like nucleoporin motifs interacting with the outer surface of Impβ.
转运受体Importinβ (Impβ)和Importin7 (Imp7)的异源二聚体促进了H1连接体组蛋白的核输入。它们之间的相互作用是由Imp7的一段c端残基介导的,这也是Imp7被Impβ激活所必需的。利用Alphafold3预测了Impβ:Imp7:H1复合物模型,并通过交联数据、等温滴定量热法和下拉实验对其进行了验证,为其准确性提供了强有力的支持。该模型将H1球形结构域定位在Imp7的中心空腔内。根据已发表的冷冻电子显微镜(cryo-EM)图对该原子模型进行了改进,与早期的解释相比,该解释显着改善了相关性,后者将H1球形结构域置于Impβ中。这种增强的结构一致性进一步证实了人工智能驱动的预测的准确性。此外,详细的分析证实,Imp7的c端延伸包含一个核孔蛋白样结合(NlB)区域,两个fxfg样核孔蛋白基序与Impβ的外表面相互作用。

The interaction between them is mediated by a stretch of C-terminal residues of Imp7 essential also for Imp7 activation by Impβ. An Impβ:Imp7:H1 complex model was predicted by Alphafold3 and validated using cross-linking data, isothermal titration calorimetry, and pull-down experiments, providing robust support for its accuracy. This model positions the H1 globular domain within the central cavity of Imp7. Refinement of this atomic model against a published cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) map demonstrated significantly improved correspondence compared to the earlier interpretation, which placed the H1 globular domain within Impβ. This enhanced structural consistency further substantiates the accuracy of the AI-driven prediction.
