Shapify: Pathways to SARS-CoV-2 Frameshifting Pseudoknot

Abstract: Background: Multiple viruses including HIV, MERS-CoV (coronavirus responsible for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, MERS), SARS-CoV (coronavirus responsible for SARS) and SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus responsible for COVID-19) use a mechanism known as -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (-1 PRF) to successfully replicate. SARS-CoV-2 possesses a unique RNA pseudoknotted structure that stimulates -1 PRF. Recent experiments identified small molecules as antiviral agents that can bind to the pseudoknot and disrupt its… Show more

“…Recall that each graph topology corresponds to multiple 2D structures. In their 3_8 RNA, 23 base pairs in Stems 2 and 3 are the same as in our 3_6 in Figure 1, but the original Stem 1 is replaced by a pseudoknot that binds the 5′ end and the Stem 3 loop. In their 3_3, 23 Stem 3 loop and the 3′ end base pair to form the pseudoknot, instead of the 5′ end of the 77 nt FSE and Stem 1 loop.…”
