Intracellular protein-protein interactions required for SARS-CoV-2 replication

Molecular classification
Protein-protein interaction network, Viral-host interaction, Multicomponent Target
01

Overview

SARS-CoV-2 replication within host cells is critically dependent on a complex network of intracellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs) involving both viral and host proteins. These interactions orchestrate every stage of the viral life cycle, including entry, genome replication, transcription, translation, assembly, and egress. Disrupting these PPIs is a promising strategy for antiviral drug development. Key viral proteins involved include Nsps (especially nsp3/nsp4/nsp6/nsp9/nsp16) and structural protein N. Key host components include autophagy-related proteins (ATG5/LC3), Lamp2a, and Rab GTPases. These interactions are essential for membrane remodeling, DMV formation, translation control, and trafficking. Disruption of these interactions impairs essential steps in the virus life cycle.
