Target description

Replicase polyprotein 1ab (UniProt: P0DTD1: also known as pp1ab, EC: 2.7.7.48, RNA-directed RNA polymerase nsp12, Replicase polyprotein NSP12;Pol RdRp) is encoded by the rep (also known as 1a-1b) gene (Gene ID: 43740578) in SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-strand RNA virus that causes severe respiratory syndrome in human. Its replicase polyprotein 1ab is cleaved into 16 different chains. Non-structural protein 12 (NSP12; aa 4393-5324) is the RNA-directed polymerase (RdRp) that is required for viral replication and transcription. NSP12 is shown to possesses low RNA polymerase activity and requires interaction with cofactors NSP7 and NSP8 to promote polymerase activity. Within the NSP12 is a right-hand RdRp domain (aa S367 to F920) and a nidovirus-specific N-terminal extension domain (aa D60 to R249) that adopts a nidovirus RdRp-associated nucleotidyltransferase (NiRAN) structural design. These two domains are connected by an interface domain (aa A250 to R365). The active site RdRp domain is formed by the conserved polymerase motifs A to G in the palm domain. Motif A that is composed of residues 611 to 626 (TPHLMGWDYPKCDRAM), contains the conserved classic divalent-cation-binding site D618, and motif C (aa 753 to 767 (FSMMILSDDAVVCFN)] contains the catalytic residues (aa 759 to 761). RdRp has become an important therapeutic target to treat COVID‐19. Inhibition of NSP12 activity not only blocks viral replication and reduces the systemic viral load but reduces pathogenesis associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. (Ref.: Meng, W., et al. (2023). J.
