Abstract

AbstractIn severe-acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, polyproteins (pp1a/pp1ab) are processed into non-structural proteins (nsps), which largely form the replication/transcription complex (RTC). The polyprotein processing and complex formation is critical and offers potential therapeutic targets. However, the interplay of polyprotein processing and RTC-assembly are poorly understood. Here, we studied two key aspects: The influence of the pp1a terminal nsp11 on the order of polyprotein processing by viral main protease Mproand the influence of polyprotein processing on core enzyme complex formation. We established a method based on native MS to determine rate constantskconsidering the structural environment. This enabled us to quantify the multi-reaction kinetics of coronavirus polyprotein processing for the first time. Our results serve as a blueprint for other multi-cleavage reactions. Further, it offers a detailed and quantifiable perspective to the dynamic reactions of SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein processing, which is required for development of novel antivirals.
