Abstract SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 encodes at least 16 nonstructural proteins of variably understood function. Nsp3, the largest nonstructural protein contains several domains, including a SARS-unique domain (SUD), which occurs only in Sarbecovirus. The SUD has a role in preferentially enhancing viral translation. During isolation of mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2, we isolated an attenuated virus that contained a single mutation in a linker region of nsp3 (nsp3-S676T). The S676T mutation decreased virus replication in cultured cells and primary human cells and in mice. Nsp3-S676T alleviated the SUD translational enhancing ability by decreasing the interaction between two translation factors, Paip1 and PABP1. We also identified a compensatory mutation in the nucleocapsid (N) protein (N-S194L) that restored the virulent phenotype, without directly binding to SUD. Together, these results reveal an aspect of nsp3-N interactions, which impact both SARS-CoV-2 replication and, consequently, pathogenesis.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
