• W3120287815 abstract "Abstract Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a massive health crisis across the globe, with some genetic variants gaining enhanced infectivity and competitive fitness, and thus significantly aggravating the global health concern. In this regard, the recent SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant, B.1.1.7 lineage, reported from the United Kingdom (UK), is of great significance in that it contains several mutations that increase its infection and transmission rates as evident from clinical reports. Specifically, the N501Y mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 receptor binding domain (S1-RBD) has been shown to possess an increased affinity for ACE2, although the basis for this is not entirely clear yet. Here, we dissect the mechanism underlying the increased affinity using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the available ACE2-S1-RBD complex structure (6M0J) and show a prolonged and stable interfacial interaction of the N501Y mutant S1-RBD with ACE2 compared to the wild type S1-RBD. Additionally, we find that the N501Y mutant S1-RBD displays altered dynamics that likely aids in its enhanced interaction with ACE2. By elucidating a mechanistic basis for the increased affinity of the N501Y mutant S1-RBD for ACE2, we believe that the results presented here will aid in developing therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV-2 including designing drugs targeting the ACE2-S1-RBD interaction. Significance The emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 lineage in the UK in December 2020 has further aggravated the COVID-19 pandemic due to an increased ability of the variant to infect human hosts, likely due to mutations in the viral S1 spike protein including the N501Y S1-RBD mutation that is located at the interface of S1-RBD and ACE2, the host cell receptor for SARS-CoV-2. Given its location at the interface, N501Y S1-RBD mutation can therefore potentially alter the interfacial interaction. Multiple, all-atom, explicit solvent MD simulations of the ACE2-S1-RBD complex carried here indicated a more stable interaction between the N501Y mutant S1-RBD and ACE2 through stabilizing interfacial interactions of residues at one end of the interface that are either sequentially or physically near the mutation site. These mechanistic details will aid in better understanding the mechanism by which the alpha variant has increased infectivity as well as in designing better therapeutics including ACE2-S1 spike protein inhibitors that will, in turn, help thwarting the current and future pandemic. Highlights N501 in the wild type SARS-CoV-2 S1-RBD forms unsustained hydrogen bonds with residues in the ACE2, namely Y41 and K353 Y501 in the N501Y mutant SARS-CoV-2 S1-RBD is not capable of forming substantial hydrogen bonds with ACE2 within the time span of the current simulation Evidence from analyzing the simulation results suggests that Y501 of S1-RBD could form other types of non-covalent interactions with ACE2, such as van der Waals interactions N501Y S1-RBD mutation stabilizes the position of interfacial residues neighboring to the mutation site, as well as other non-interfacial residues that are distant from the mutation site These altered dynamics results in more stable interaction of S1-RBD with ACE2 which could be the main reason underlying the reported enhanced affinity of S1-RBD in the SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant (UK B.1.1.7 lineage) to ACE2" @default.
