用于抗病毒药物筛选的SARS-CoV-2主要蛋白酶蛋白水解活性生物传感器的研制

  • SARS-CoV-2引起的新型冠状病毒疫情在世界范围内迅速爆发,病毒的M蛋白酶(也称作3CL蛋白酶)在病毒的复制及致病过程中至关重要,因此,被认为是一种极具吸引力的SARS-CoV-2抗病毒药物研发靶点。但至今为止,还没有被批准的M蛋白酶抑制剂用于新冠病毒的治疗。本研究建立了一种灵敏的、基因编码的M蛋白酶活性检测传感器。此传感器由白介素-1β前体-冠状病毒M蛋白酶切割位点以及Gaussia荧光素酶(GLuc)三部分组成,我们将其命名为i-MS-GLuc。在传感器中,由于白介素-1β前体的易聚集性,GLuc的催化活性处于被抑制状态,而新冠病毒的M蛋白酶可以识别传感器中的切割位点,并对传感器进行切割,从而释放及激活GLuc,使其荧光素酶活性大幅度上升。这种传感器灵敏度高、操作简单、反应在活细胞内进行。这些特性使其成为活细胞内检测病毒蛋白酶活性的有利工具,并可以以此建立抗病毒药物的高通量筛选平台。
