Mutation of a highly conserved isoleucine residue in loop 2 of several ????-coronavirus macrodomains indicates that enhanced ADP-ribose binding is detrimental to infection

C. M. Kerr, J. J. Pfannenstiel, Y. M. Alhammad, J. J. O'Connor, R. Ghimire, R. Shrestha, R. Khattabi, P. Saenjamsai, S. Parthasarathy, P. R. McDonald, P. Gao, D. K. Johnson, S. More, A. Roy, R. Channappanavar, A. R. Fehr

This study shows that mutating a conserved isoleucine in the macrodomain of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 enhances ADP-ribose binding but reduces viral replication and pathogenesis.

Klebsiella pneumoniae Co-infection Leads to Fatal Pneumonia in SARS-CoV-2-infected Mice

C. Villalva, G. Patil, S. Narayanan, D. Chanda, R. Ghimire, T. Snider, A. Ramachandran, R. Channappanavar, S. More

This study shows that co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice leads to severe pneumonia and higher mortality.

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)-mediated antiviral response protects mice from lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection

R. Ghimire, R. Shrestha, R. Amaradhi, T. Patton, C. Whitley, D. Chanda, L. Liu, S. More, T. Ganesh, R. Channappanavar

This study shows that TLR7 signaling protects mice from lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection by enhancing antiviral responses and reducing inflammation.

SARS-CoV-2 Mac1 is required for IFN antagonism and efficient virus replication in mice

Y. M. Alhammad, S. Parthasarathy, R. Ghimire, J. J. O'Connor, C. M. Kerr, J. J. Pfannenstiel, D. Chanda, C. A. Miller, R. Unckless, S. Zuniga, L. Enjuanes, S. More, R. Channappanavar, A. Fehr

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 Mac1 is essential for pathogenesis but not replication, as Mac1-deleted virus replicates normally but induces higher IFN responses and reduced disease in mice.
