    Abstract Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), also termed HSPA5, was widely studied in cancer. It was recently approved that GRP78 has nuclear localization potential that sheds light on its role in cancer development. The inhibitor of DNA binding and differentiation 2 (ID2) is the nuclear component that associates with GRP78. The interaction between these two proteins is not understood clearly. In the current study, the binding pattern of GRP78/ID2 is predicted using computational methods. Protein-protein docking is used along with molecular dynamics simulation. The substrate binding domain β of GRP78 can stably interact with the loop region (C42-S60) of ID2 as predicted in this study. This paves the way for a possible destabilizer for this association and cancer eradication.

    Abstract Amyloidosis is an extraordinarily vigorous and heterogeneous group of disorders that causes numerous organ failures due to the precipitation of misfolded proteins. Many of these damaged proteins are discarded before causing any fatal diseases due to the contribution of the protein quality control (PQC) system and its chaperons, including glucose-regulated protein (GRP78). One of the most important enzymatic proteins inside the body is lysozyme, which is reported to have many mutated variants that may cause amyloid fibrils. This study used structural bioinformatics and molecular dynamics simulations to test and suggest binding sites for the human lysozyme protein with GRP78. Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) shows that part of the lysozyme envelope protein (C65-C81 cyclic region) has high similarities (30.77% identity) with the cyclic Pep42. Additionally, the binding between the lysozyme cyclic region (C65-C81) and GRP78 substrate binding domain (SBD) is found favorable. The number and types of interactions vary between each of the mutant isoforms of lysozyme. The more significant the conformational changes in the mutation, the greater its probability of aggregation and the formation of amyloid fibrils. Each mutation leads to different interactions and binding patterns with GRP78. The present computational study suggests a lysozyme-GRP78 binding site, thus paving the way for drug designers to construct suitable carriers that can collect misfolded lysozyme proteins and eliminate them from the body, preventing their aggregation and amyloidogenesis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

    Abstract The human coronavirus (HCoV), SARS-CoV-2, caused more than 34 M confirmed infections from which more than 1 M deaths are reported until now (the WHO situation report-154). The current pandemic causes severe socio-economic burden. Due to the importance of understanding of the mode of recognition and viral entry, spike protein shed drug designers as the first look protein target with the first released solved structure on 26 February 2020 (PDB ID: 6VSB). It is proposed that the recognition site for GRP78 is found in SARS-CoV-2 and the immersed human coronaviruses but experimental validation is still required.

    Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cervical cancer-promoting element that is transmitted through sexual routes. Anal, head, and throat cancers are also reported to be accompanied by HPV infection. E6 is one of the HPV nonstructural proteins, which is responsible for cell differentiation by targeting tumor suppressor genes, p105Rb and p53. E6 was reported to be stabilized by two chaperone proteins; glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and heat shock protein 90. GRP78 is responsible for the unfolded protein response of the cells, and it was reported to be upregulated in many cancers, including cervical cancer. It was reported that knocking out GRP78 destabilizes E6 leading to faster degradation of E6 in vivo. The current work predicts the possible binding mode between E6 and GRP78 based on sequence and structural similarities.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 has been emerged in December 2019 in China, causing deadly (5% mortality) pandemic pneumonia, termed COVID-19. More than one host-cell receptor is reported to be recognized by the viral spike protein, among them is the cell-surface Heat Shock Protein A5 (HSPA5), also termed GRP78 or BiP. Upon viral infection, HSPA5 is upregulated, then translocating to the cell membrane where it is subjected to be recognized by the SARS-CoV-2 spike. In this study, some natural product compounds are tested against the HSPA5 substrate-binding domain β (SBDβ), which reported to be the recognition site for the SARS-CoV-2 spike. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations are used to test some natural compounds binding to HSPA5 SBDβ. The results show high to a moderate binding affinity for the phytoestrogens (Diadiazin, Genistein, Formontein, and Biochanin A), chlorogenic acid, linolenic acid, palmitic acid, caffeic acid, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, hydroxytyrosol, cis-p-Coumaric acid, cinnamaldehyde, thymoquinone, and some physiological hormones such as estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and cholesterol to the HSPA5 SBDβ. Based on its binding affinities, the phytoestrogens and estrogens are the best in binding HSPA5, hence may interfere with SARS-CoV-2 attachment to the stressed cells. These compounds can be successful as anti-COVID-19 agents for people with a high risk of cell stress like elders, cancer patients, and front-line medical staff.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
