T202 |
0-170 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To address the molecular bases of N7-MTase nsp14 inhibition by the dinucleosides, we performed computational docking studies of the best inhibitor 13 using Autodock Vina. |
T203 |

Sentence |
denotes |
The docking was based on the SARS-CoV nsp14-nsp10 complex structure solved in presence of SAM [35]. |
T204 |
271-490 |
Sentence |
denotes |
SARS-CoV nsp14 is a bifunctional enzyme carrying RNA cap guanine N7-MTase at the C-terminal domain for mRNA capping (which is not influenced by nsp10) and 3′-5′-exoribonuclease at the N-terminal domain for proofreading. |
T205 |
491-664 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The N7-MTase domain exhibits an original fold and the methyl receptor cap RNA (GpppA-RNA) and SAM bind in proximity in a highly constricted pocket to achieve methyltransfer. |
T206 |
665-759 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The compound 13 was modeled in the SAM binding pocket of the SARS-CoV nsp14 structure (PDB ID: |
T207 |

780-791 |
Sentence |
denotes |
5NFY [36]). |
T209 |
792-935 |
Sentence |
denotes |
At first sight, the overlay of the N-adenosine of 13 with the adenosine of SAM bounded structure is suitable (Supporting Information, Fig. S4). |
T210 |
936-1147 |
Sentence |
denotes |
More interestingly, the nitrobenzenesulfonamide core of 13 binds into a SARS-CoV nsp14 well known binding site formed by Trp385, Phe401, Tyr420, Phe426 and Phe506 (Fig. 3 , Supporting Information, Fig. S5) [35]. |
T211 |
1148-1248 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Naturally, the side chains of these amino acids enclose the nucleobase guanine of the cap structure. |
T212 |
1249-1397 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In this cap-binding site, Phe426 was shown to have the largest influence on the N7-MTase activity, and F426A mutation reduced MTase activity by 50%. |
T213 |
1398-1536 |
Sentence |
denotes |
With 13, the orientation of the Phe426 residue all around the nitrobenzenesulfonamide leads to the formation of π-π stacking interactions. |
T214 |
1537-1670 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, there are other hydrophobic interactions between the phenylsulfonamide moiety and aromatic residues of the binding site. |
T215 |
1671-1795 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All these interactions may explain the strong inhibition observed with phenyl-containing compounds, notably compounds 13–15. |
T216 |
1796-1961 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, Asn386 is located in proximity to the methylation site and forms two hydrogen bonds with the guanine moiety favoring its right orientation for methylation. |
T217 |
1962-2083 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, fixed on the nitrobenzenesulfonamide core of 13, the chlorine atom forms a halogen bond with Asn386 (Fig. 4 ) [37]. |
T218 |
2084-2286 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The formation of a double hydrogen bond interaction was observed between the nitro group and Arg310 that normally interacts with the second phosphate group of the triphosphate bond in the cap structure. |
T219 |
2287-2437 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The docking also suggests that the sulfone group of 13 avoids flexibility of the N-nosyl substituent, thus increasing its orientation into the pocket. |
T220 |
2438-2612 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This constraint may explain the difference in activity (IC50) and stabilizing effect (T m) between compounds 13 and 15 that contains a methylene group instead of the sulfone. |
T221 |
2613-2722 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, the common element of all dinucleosides is an adenosine linked to a N-adenosine by the 2′O position. |
T222 |
2723-2908 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Its contribution is well defined by the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the adenosine and Gly333 (3′OH), Ile338 (5′OH), Lys336 (N7) and His424 (N1) residues (Fig. 4). |
T223 |
2909-3038 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All the major interactions maintain 13 in a suitable orientation in the binding site in place of the natural substrate GpppA-RNA. |
T224 |
3039-3195 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The docking model of 13 is consistent with our inhibition experimental data and high thermal stability of SARS-CoV nsp14 in the presence of these compounds. |
