Abstract
A severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection causes mild-to-severe respiratory symptoms, including acute respiratory distress. Despite remarkable efforts to investigate the virological and pathological impacts of SARS-CoV-2, many of the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection still remain unknown. The interferon-inducible ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 is covalently conjugated to several viral proteins to suppress their functions. It was reported that SARS-CoV-2 utilizes its papain-like protease (PLpro) to impede ISG15 conjugation, ISGylation. However, the role of ISGylation in SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the role of ISGylation in SARS-CoV-2 replication. We observed that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein is a target protein for the HERC5 E3 ligase-mediated ISGylation in cultured cells. Site-directed mutagenesis reveals that the residue K374 within the C-terminal spacer B-N3 (SB/N3) domain is required for nucleocapsid-ISGylation, alongside conserved lysine residue in MERS-CoV (K372) and SARS-CoV (K375). We also observed that the nucleocapsid-ISGylation results in the disruption of nucleocapsid oligomerization, thereby inhibiting viral replication. Knockdown of ISG15 mRNA enhanced SARS-CoV-2 replication in the SARS-CoV-2 reporter replicon cells, while exogenous expression of ISGylation components partially hampered SARS-CoV-2 replication. Taken together, these results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 PLpro inhibits ISGylation of the nucleocapsid protein to promote viral replication by evading ISGylation-mediated disruption of the nucleocapsid oligomerization.
