    Abstract Summary: Translational regulation is a fundamental step in gene expression with critical roles in biological processes within a cell. Here, we describe a protocol to assess translation activity in mammalian cells by incorporation of O-propargyl-puromycin (OP-Puro). OP-Puro is a puromycin analog that is incorporated into newly synthesized proteins and is detected by click chemistry reaction. We use OP-Puro labeling to assess translation activity between different cell types or cells under different growth conditions by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hsu et al. (2021) and Hsu et al. (2022). : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.

    Abstract The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented global health crisis. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of COVID-19. Subversion of host protein synthesis is a common strategy that pathogenic viruses use to replicate and propagate in their host. In this study, we show that SARS-CoV-2 is able to shut down host protein synthesis and that SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein NSP14 exerts this activity. We show that the translation inhibition activity of NSP14 is conserved in human coronaviruses. NSP14 is required for virus replication through contribution of its exoribonuclease (ExoN) and N7-methyltransferase (N7-MTase) activities. Mutations in the ExoN or N7-MTase active sites of SARS-CoV-2 NSP14 abolish its translation inhibition activity. In addition, we show that the formation of NSP14-NSP10 complex enhances translation inhibition executed by NSP14. Consequently, the translational shutdown by NSP14 abolishes the type I interferon (IFN-I)-dependent induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Together, we find that SARS-CoV-2 shuts down host innate immune responses via a translation inhibitor, providing insights into the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Flaviviruses continue to emerge as global health threats. There are currently no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved antiviral treatments for flaviviral infections. Therefore, there is a pressing need to identify host and viral factors that can be targeted for effective therapeutic intervention. Type I interferon (IFN-I) production in response to microbial products is one of the host's first line of defense against invading pathogens. Cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 2 (CMPK2) is a type I interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) that exerts antiviral effects. However, the molecular mechanism by which CMPK2 inhibits viral replication is unclear. Here, we report that CMPK2 expression restricts Zika virus (ZIKV) replication by specifically inhibiting viral translation and that IFN-I- induced CMPK2 contributes significantly to the overall antiviral response against ZIKV. We demonstrate that expression of CMPK2 results in a significant decrease in the replication of other pathogenic flaviviruses including dengue virus (DENV-2), Kunjin virus (KUNV) and yellow fever virus (YFV). Importantly, we determine that the N-terminal domain (NTD) of CMPK2, which lacks kinase activity, is sufficient to restrict viral translation. Thus, its kinase function is not required for CMPK2's antiviral activity. Furthermore, we identify seven conserved cysteine residues within the NTD as critical for CMPK2 antiviral activity. Thus, these residues may form an unknown functional site in the NTD of CMPK2 contributing to its antiviral function. Finally, we show that mitochondrial localization of CMPK2 is required for its antiviral effects. Given its broad antiviral activity against flaviviruses, CMPK2 is a promising potential pan-flavivirus inhibitor.

    Abstract The incubation period of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is rarely >14 days. We report a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who developed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a confirmed incubation period of at least 21 days. These findings raise concern for a prolonged presymptomatic transmission phase, necessitating a longer quarantine duration in this patient population.

    Abstract Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules, which are dimers of a glycosylated polymorphic transmembrane heavy chain and the small protein β
    Significance statement: Viruses may down-regulate MHC class I expression on infected cells to avoid elimination by cytotoxic T cells. We report that the accessory proteins ORF7a and ORF3a of SARS-CoV-2 mediate this function and delineate the two distinct mechanisms involved. While ORF3a inhibits global protein trafficking to the cell surface, ORF7a acts specifically on MHC-I by competing with β

    Abstract We previously established an open-access lung sound database, HF_Lung_V1, and developed deep learning models for inhalation, exhalation, continuous adventitious sound (CAS), and discontinuous adventitious sound (DAS) detection. The amount of data used for training contributes to model accuracy. In this study, we collected larger quantities of data to further improve model performance and explored issues of noisy labels and overlapping sounds. HF_Lung_V1 was expanded to HF_Lung_V2 with a 1.43× increase in the number of audio files. Convolutional neural network–bidirectional gated recurrent unit network models were trained separately using the HF_Lung_V1 (V1_Train) and HF_Lung_V2 (V2_Train) training sets. These were tested using the HF_Lung_V1 (V1_Test) and HF_Lung_V2 (V2_Test) test sets, respectively. Segment and event detection performance was evaluated. Label quality was assessed. Overlap ratios were computed between inhalation, exhalation, CAS, and DAS labels. The model trained using V2_Train exhibited improved performance in inhalation, exhalation, CAS, and DAS detection on both V1_Test and V2_Test. Poor CAS detection was attributed to the quality of CAS labels. DAS detection was strongly influenced by the overlapping of DAS with inhalation and exhalation. In conclusion, collecting greater quantities of lung sound data is vital for developing more accurate lung sound analysis models.
