    Abstract Both human B cell hybridoma technology and convalescent plasma therapy are promising immunological tools for therapeutic interventions. Here we propose using antibody producing B cells from convalescent SARS-CoV2 patients for developing human B cell hybridomas, and a combination of monoclonal antibodies against multiple immunogenic targets of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein might deliver an antibody cocktail for long-lasting therapeutic targeting.

    Abstract Host proteases trypsin and trypsin-like proteases have been reported to facilitate the entry of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in its host cells. These protease enzymes cleave the viral surface glycoprotein, spike, leading to successful cell surface receptor attachment, fusion and entry of the virus in its host cell. The spike protein has protease cleavage sites between the two domains S1 and S2. Since the cleavage site is recognized by the host proteases, it can be a potential antiviral therapeutic target. Trypsin-like proteases play an important role in virus infectivity and the property of spike protein cleavage by trypsin and trypsin-like proteases can be used to design assays for screening of antiviral candidates against spike protein cleavage. Here, we have documented the development of a proof-of-concept assay system for screening drugs against trypsin/trypsin-like proteases that cleave spike protein between its S1 and S2 domains. The assay system developed uses a fusion substrate protein containing a NanoLuc luciferase reporter protein, the protease cleavage site between S1 and S2 domains of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and a cellulose binding domain. The substrate protein can be immobilized on cellulose via the cellulose binding domain of the substrate. When trypsin and trypsin-like proteases cleave the substrate, the cellulose binding domain remain bound to the cellulose and the reporter protein is dislodged. Reporter assay using the released reporter protein is the read out of the protease activity. We have demonstrated the proof-of-concept using multiple proteases like trypsin, TMPRSS2, furin, cathepsin B, human airway trypsin and cathepsin L. A significant increment in fold change was observed with increasing enzyme concentration and incubation time. Introduction of increasing amounts of enzyme inhibitors in the reaction reduced the luminescent signal, thus validating the assay. Furthermore, we used SDS-PAGE and immunoblot analyses to study the cleavage band pattern and re-confirm the cleavage for enzymes tested in the assay. Taken together, we have tested an in-vitro assay system using the proposed substrate for screening drugs against trypsin like protease-based cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. The assay system can also be potentially used for antiviral drug screening against any other enzyme that might cleave the used cleavage site.

    Abstract The pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has necessitated expedited research efforts towards finding potential antiviral targets and drug development measures. While new drug discovery is time consuming, drug repurposing has been a promising area for elaborate virtual screening and identification of existing FDA approved drugs that could possibly be used for targeting against functions of various proteins of SARS-CoV-2 virus. RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is an important enzyme for the virus that mediates replication of the viral RNA. Inhibition of RdRp could inhibit viral RNA replication and thus new virus particle production. Here, we screened non-nucleoside antivirals and found three out of them to be strongest in binding to RdRp. We propose these three drugs as potential RdRp inhibitors based on the site of binding.

    Abstract India has recently started sequencing SARS-CoV2 genome from clinical isolates. Currently only few sequences are available from three states in India. Kerala was the first state to deposit complete sequence from two isolates followed by one from Gujarat. On April 27, 2020, the first five sequences from the state of West Bengal (Eastern India) were deposited on GISAID, a global initiative for sharing avian flu data. In this study, we have analysed the spike protein sequences from all five isolates and also compared their similarities or differences with other sequences reported in India and with isolates of Wuhan origin. We report one unique mutation at position 723 and another at 1124 in the S2 domain of spike protein of the isolates from West Bengal only. There was one mutation downstream of the receptor binding domain at position 614 in S1 domain which was common with the sequence from Gujarat (a state of western India). Mutation in the S2 domain showed changes in the secondary structure of the spike protein at region of the mutation. We also studied molecular dynamics using normal mode analyses and found that this mutation decreases the flexibility of S2 domain. Since both S1 and S2 are important in receptor binding followed by entry in the host cells, such mutations may define the affinity or avidity of receptor binding.
