tailieunhanh - Báo cáo khoa học: On the mechanisms of bananin activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus

In a previous study, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was cultured in the presence of bananin, an effective adamantane-related molecule with antiviral activity. In the present study, we show that all bananin-resistant variants exhibit mutations in helicase and membrane protein, although no evidence of bananin interference on their mutual interaction has been found. | IFEBS Journal On the mechanisms of bananin activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus Zai Wang1 Jian-Dong Huang1 Kin-Ling Wong2 Pei-Gang Wang3 Hao-Jie Zhang2 Julian A.

In the present study we show that all bananin-resistant variants exhibit mutations in helicase and membrane protein although no evidence of bananin interference on their mutual interaction has been found. A structural analysis on protein sequence mutations found in SARS-CoV bananin-resistant variants was performed. The S259 L mutation of SARS-CoV helicase is always found in all the identified bananin-resistant variants suggesting a primary role of this mutation site for bananin activity. From a structural analysis of SARS-CoV predicted helicase structure S259 is found in a hydrophilic surface pocket far from the enzyme active sites and outside the helicase dimer interface. The S L substitution causes a pocket volume
