ImpactHigh impact

Posts highlight the significance of the research for virology, antiviral development, and understanding virus evolution, indicating high perceived impact.

Abstract in brief

  • Coronaviruses (CoVs) have the largest and most complex RNA genomes among RNA viruses, reaching up to 32 kb, and require a delicate balance between mutation rates for adaptation and maintaining a functional genome.
  • The virus encodes a protein called nsp14 ExoN, which has proofreading activity that ensures high fidelity during RNA replication; when this activity is disrupted, mutation rates increase dramatically, indicating its crucial role in genome accuracy.
  • Understanding how nsp14 ExoN works could reveal how RNA viruses evolve and adapt, offering insights into viral pathogenesis, and suggests that replication fidelity might be adaptable based on environmental pressures rather than being fixed.]

has a very high mutation rate. SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses on the other hand don't actually mutate that fast; their polymerase has a high fidelity to "proofreading" when they mutate. You just have been hearing about mutations lately in news. https://t.co/HMRVrf4QGb

@ClemensLode @hjelle_brian Although NSP14-exoN itself is a proofreader, it’s part of a “regulated fidelity” complex with nsp12-rdrp and nsp10. This allows the virus to turn the error rate up when conditions are unfavorable. Look for papers with “regulated fidelity cov”. https://t.co/fyFyXcStLn

@stormsc @AstralLobo @molosgatos @WHO That's true. As an epidemiologist explained, viruses such as #COVID19 contain "genetic proofreaders" in order to survive but which also sometimes can make them difficult to combat. https://t.co/jCwoohp2CO

@balajis @alexey_r @PeterKolchinsky Coronaviruses also have a proofreading enzyme that keeps their mutation rate fairly low, and is a target of some experimental antiviral drugs. https://t.co/CnufiEnbyN https://t.co/5ICyekkU0O

Coronaviruses: An RNA Proofreading Machine Regulates Replication Fidelity and Diversity - PubMed https://t.co/7eqk0GDXDd Watch the proofreading like a hawk. Mutations here can break vaccines by mass diversity. Flu has no proofreading which is why we see it every year https://t.co/A7umI7UHJl

@PeterKolchinsky Finishing the story: CoVs evolved xtra hi-fidelity RNA replication to support their huge genomes. https://t.co/eXVVEnjO2e

More on the “all RNA viruses have copy errors so they mutate rapidly” but SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 have a proofreading system. Coronaviruses: an RNA proofreading machine regulates replication fidelity and diversity. https://t.co/6pwZCBty9j
