INO1 entsyymi. Inositolin synteesi linkkiytynee galaktoosin metaboliaan.

 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2788023/

 

 

Ihmisellä  geeni tunnetaan nimellä ISYNA1, sijainti19p13.11. 

Tämä on inositolia sisältävien yhdisteiden  metaboliassa tahtia rajoittava  entsyymi. Sen tehtävät on konvertoida glukoosi-6-fosfaattia myoinositoli-1-fosfaatiksi  (MIP) , siitä taas impaasi-entsyymit voivat  saada aikaan   myoinositolia mI. Sanon tätäsokeria "haisokeriksi"!. Hai käyttää tätä sokeria energiansa  kehittämiseen. Myös ihmisaivojen   harmaissa soluissa on inositolilipidien   kehittämää energia järjestelmää .  Glukoosin aueella toimii  ATP ja GTP, galaktoosin alueella UTP ja tämä  inositoli  alkaa CTP alueella synteesejään.  mutta   metabolinen tie yhtyy lopulta  jälleen ATP ja GTP  teihin, joitten  toimintaa   tämä  vahvistaa.

Esimerkki Israelin nykyisestä pandemisesta vaiheesta

 i24news kertoo tänään, että Israelissa on pandemian alusta lähtien  todettuja  Covid-19 infektioita 166794. Täysin toipuneiksi katsotaan  120 727 eli yli 72%. C

ovid-19 tautiin kuolleita on todettu 1169 tai toisen tiedon mukaan 1147.  Tästä luvusta laskettuna mortaliteetti Israelissa on 0,687 %. Tarkistan vielä tuosta toisesta luvusta: 0,7%.  Viime tiistaina tehtiin koronavirustestauksia siellä 57 165 kpl.  Torstaina uusia tautitapauksia oli 5238, toisen tiedon mukaan 5523. Vakavassa tilassa on 577 henkilöä. Intuboituina on 149. Armeijasta ilmoitettiin  833 sotilasta ja  IDF siviilivirkmiestä  tartunnan saaneiksi, heillä tauti on aktiivissa vaiheessa ja lieväasteista. Lisäksi  koti-karanteeniin on määrätty 11 845 sotilasta. Koska Israelissa on   vuoden  suurimpiin ja väkirikkaimpiin  juhlatilaisuuksiin perinteisesti kuuluva aika meneillään, valtion johdon taholta on määrätty täysi 3 viikon  lockdown tila valtioon ja virkavalta  valvoo käskyn noudatusta. Tämä juhla-aika perinteisesti sisältää myös  Lehtimajanjuhlan johon on aiemmin tulvinut  koko maailmasta turisteja viettämään suuria joukkotilaisuuksia väkirikkaissa  kaupungeissa. 

Tänään on Uudenvuoden alku. Siirrytään vuodesta 5780 vuoteen 5781. ROSH HASHANA.

Abstract

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are an important cause of illness in humans and animals. Most human coronaviruses commonly cause relatively mild respiratory illnesses; however two zoonotic coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, can cause severe illness and death. Investigations over the past 35 years have illuminated many aspects of coronavirus replication. The focus of this review is the functional analysis of conserved RNA secondary structures in the 5' and 3' of the betacoronavirus genomes. The 5' 350 nucleotides folds into a set of RNA secondary structures which are well conserved, and reverse genetic studies indicate that these structures play an important role in the discontinuous synthesis of subgenomic RNAs in the betacoronaviruses. These cis-acting elements extend 3' of the 5'UTR into ORF1a. The 3'UTR is similarly conserved and contains all of the cis-acting sequences necessary for viral replication. Two competing conformations near the 5' end of the 3'UTR have been shown to make up a potential molecular switch. There is some evidence that an association between the 3' and 5'UTRs is necessary for subgenomic RNA synthesis, but the basis for this association is not yet clear. A number of host RNA proteins have been shown to bind to the 5' and 3' cis-acting regions, but the significance of these in viral replication is not clear. Two viral proteins have been identified as binding to the 5' cis-acting region, nsp1 and N protein. A genetic interaction between nsp8 and nsp9 and the region of the 3'UTR that contains the putative molecular switch suggests that these two proteins bind to this region.

Keywords: Coronaviruses; RNA binding proteins; RNA secondary structure; Virus replication; cis-Acting sequences.

Jackson LA, Anderson EJ et a. .." The candidate vaccine mRNA-1273 is a lipid nanoparticle–encapsulated, nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA)–based vaccine that encodes the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein stabilized in its prefusion conformation. The S glycoprotein mediates host cell attachment and is required for viral entry3; it is the primary vaccine target for many candidate SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.4-7We conducted a first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial in healthy adults to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of mRNA-1273. Here we report interim results of the trial"

Abstract
Memory T cells induced by previous pathogens can shape the susceptibility to, and clinical severity of, subsequent infections1. Little is known about the presence of pre-existing memory T cells in humans with the potential to recognize SARS-CoV-2. Here, we first studied T cell responses to structural (nucleocapsid protein, NP) and non-structural (NSP-7 and NSP13 of ORF1) regions of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 convalescents (n=36). In all of them we demonstrated the presence of CD4 and CD8 T cells recognizing multiple regions of the NP protein. We then showed that SARS-recovered patients (n=23) still possess long-lasting memory T cells reactive to SARS-NP 17 years after the 2003 outbreak, which displayed robust cross-reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 NP. Surprisingly, we also frequently detected SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells in individuals with no history of SARS, COVID-19 or contact with SARS/COVID-19 patients (n=37). SARS-CoV-2 T cells in uninfected donors exhibited a different pattern of immunodominance, frequently targeting the ORF-1-coded proteins NSP7 and 13 as well as the NP structural protein. Epitope characterization of NSP7-specific T cells showed recognition of protein fragments with low homology to "common cold" human coronaviruses but conserved amongst animal betacoranaviruses. Thus, infection with betacoronaviruses induces multispecific and long-lasting T cell immunity to the structural protein NP. Understanding how pre-existing NP- and ORF-1-specific T cells present in the general population impact susceptibility and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is of paramount importance for the management of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

 Online ahead of print. PMID: 32668443The COVID-19 pandemic is a major threat to global health1 for which there are limited medical countermeasures2,3. Moreover, we currently lack a thorough understanding of mechanisms of humoral immunity4. From a larger panel of human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the spike (S) glycoprotein5, we identified several that exhibited potent neutralizing activity and fully blocked the receptor-binding domain of S (SRBD) from interacting with human ACE2 (hACE2). Competition-binding, structural, and functional studies allowed clustering of the mAbs into classes recognizing distinct epitopes on the SRBD as well as distinct conformational states of the S trimer. Potent neutralizing mAbs recognizing non-overlapping sites, COV2-2196 and COV2-2130, bound simultaneously to S and synergistically neutralized authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus. In two mouse models of SARS-CoV-2 infection, passive transfer of either COV2-2196 or COV2-2130 alone or a combination of both mAbs protected mice from weight loss and reduced viral burden and inflammation in the lung. In addition, passive transfer of each of two of the most potently ACE2 blocking mAbs (COV2-2196 or COV2-2381) as monotherapy protected rhesus macaques from SARS-CoV-2 infection. These results identify protective epitopes on SRBD and provide a structure-based framework for rational vaccine design and the selection of robust immunotherapeutics.





A perspective on potential antibody-dependent enhancement of SARS-CoV-2.
Arvin AM, Fink K, Schmid MA, Cathcart A, Spreafico R, Havenar-Daughton C, Lanzavecchia A, Corti D, Virgin HW. Nature. 2020 Jul 13. doi: 10.1038/s41586-020-2538-8. Online ahead of print. PMID: 32659783    Review.The possibility of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of disease is a general concern for the development of vaccines and antibody therapies because the mechanisms that underlie antibody protection have the theoretical potential to amplify viral infections or trigger immunopathology. Observations relevant to the risks of ADE of disease require careful review at this critical point in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. At present, no clinical findings, immunologic assays or biomarkers are known to differentiate any severe viral infection from immune-enhanced disease, whether by antibodies, T cells or intrinsic host responses. In vitro systems and animal models do not predict the risk of ADE of disease, in part because protective and potentially detrimental antibody-mediated mechanisms are the same, and designing animal models depends on understanding how antiviral host responses may become harmful in people. The implications of our lack of knowledge are twofold. First, comprehensive studies are urgently needed to define clinical correlates of protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2. Second, since we cannot predict ADE of disease reliably after either vaccination or treatment with antibodies, regardless of what virus is the causative agent, it will be essential to depend on careful analysis of safety in humans as immune interventions for COVID-19 disease move forward.

  Review. Although COVID-19 is most well known for causing substantial respiratory pathology, it can also result in several extrapulmonary manifestations. These conditions include thrombotic complications, myocardial dysfunction and arrhythmia, acute coronary syndromes, acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal symptoms, hepatocellular injury, hyperglycemia and ketosis, neurologic illnesses, ocular symptoms, and dermatologic complications. Given that ACE2, the entry receptor for the causative coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is expressed in multiple extrapulmonary tissues, direct viral tissue damage is a plausible mechanism of injury. In addition, endothelial damage and thromboinflammation, dysregulation of immune responses, and maladaptation of ACE2-related pathways might all contribute to these extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19. Here we review the extrapulmonary organ-specific pathophysiology, presentations and management considerations for patients with COVID-19 to aid clinicians and scientists in recognizing and monitoring the spectrum of manifestations, and in developing research priorities and therapeutic strategies for all organ systems involved.

TRIM59 ja ECSIT ovat SARS2 interaktioproteiineja ( ORF3a ja vastaavasti ORF9C kanssa)

 Päivitys 24.6. 2021. Olen  kirjoittanut  TRIM59.stä vuosi takaperin, mutta vasta tänään 24.6. 2021  törmäsin ECSIT- proteiiniin ja asetan tähän  asiayhteyden:  Olen aamusta asti  lukenut  rauta-rikki-klustereista  Fe-S clusters, joita on useissa  proteiineissa ja jonkalaista rakennetta myös Sars-2 virusproteiineissa  esiintyy funktion tehostajana ja struktuurin stabiloijana.  Koska sars-2 proteiinit tekevät interaktioita mitokondriaaliseen hengitysketjuun, jossa ihmisellä on useita Fe-S- klusterin omaavia proteiineja, etsin myös artikkelin  hengitysketjun kompleksien rakenteesta  . Ehdin katsoa Complex I (CI):n  evoluutiosta  perustavaa tietoa. 
 
Tässä yhteydessä  ECSIT- proteiini mainitaan ja sen nimi tulee sanoista: Evolutionally Conserved Signaling Intermediate In TOLL pathways.  se on  sytosolinen proteiini, joka osallistuu tulehdsvasteesee ja alkion kehitykseen. Lisäksi se on mitokondriaalinen proteiini ja tekee interaktion CI- kompleksin jäsenten kanssa siinä vaiheessa kun kompleksi I koostuu. NDUFAF1:n  stabiliteetti  ja siihen liittyvien komponenttien stabiliteetti on riippuvainen ECSIT-proteiinista. 
 Sars-2 ORF9c tekee interaktioita useisiin CI kompleksin  komponentteihin: CIAO30 eli NDUFAF1, ECSIT, ACAD9, NDUFB9) . Sars 2 nsp7 tekee interaktiota NDUFAF2 komponenttiin  muun muassa.

Tämä TRIM sijaitsee 3. kromosomin q-haarassa. Sen koodaama proteiini on 403 aminohappoa.Se kuuluu HC- struktuurin omaaviin TRIMproteiineihin. Sen rakenne on kaavaa ”RING-HC-TRIM59-C-V”. Se kuuluu HC- alaryhmään. Sen HC-rakenne on tarkemmin (C3HC4)-
TRIM59 saattaa ubikitinoida p53.
 TRIM59 säätää negatiivisesti NF-kB- ja IRF3/IRF7-välitteistä tietä ja tekee interaktion ECSIT:iin (joka on mitokondriaalinen, evolutionaalisesti konservoitunut signalointivälituote Tollin reseptorien signaaliteissä, signaloinnin integroija) (ECSIT on  SARS2  oref9C interaktioproteiini)
 
.TRIM59 omaa onkogeenista luonnetta ja sitä on havaittu poikkeavasti ilmenevänä monessa eri syövässä. Siitä löytää hyvin paljon artikkeleita netistä. TRIM59 on todettu luonnollisen immuniteetin multifunktionaaliseksi signaaliteitten säätelijäksi. Kun kaikki artikkelit käy läpi, voi ehkä jollain tavalla hahmottaa sen moninaisen normaalin ja  runsaan epänormaalin funktion. Se on aikamoinen palapeli. Sen nimi IFT80L tarkoittaa Intraflagellaarinen kuljetus (transport) (IFT) proteiini. Se on kaikissa cilioita omaavissa organismeissa konservoitunut ja essentielli, tärkeä cilia-rakenteen koostumukselle ja ylläpidolle. Sitä ilmenee paljon nopeasti proliferoituvissa soluissa, mutta ei differentioituneissa soluissa, jotka ovat siirtyneet pois solusyklistä. Tällä tekijällä on tärkeä osa solun proliferaatiossa ja differentiaatiossa. Tästä herää kiinnostus mikä on TRIM59 geenin normaali funktio esim värekarvoja (cilia) omaavassa hengitystie-epiteelissä. Jos TRIM59 geeni sammutetaan keuhkosyöpäsolussa, solusykli pysähtyy G2-vaiheeseen ja  solutuotetta kertyy- p53 ei toimi. Paljon onkin tutkittu sen osuutta NSCLC keuhkosyövissä. Ras- ja RB- signalointitiessä TRIM59 on proto-onkogeeni. TRIMgeenin sammutus voi eräissä syövissä säätää TGFbeta/SMAD2- tien vaimeammaksi,  samoin EMT vaimenee ( epiteliaalinen-mesenkymaalinen transitio). TRIM59 pystyy moduloimaan onkogeenejä MTOR ja EIF4E .
BCG-rokotus aktivoi makrofageja ja ne kykenevät siten tappamaan tuumorisoluja. Näiden makrofagien yksi pääominaisuus on TRIM59:n runsas ilmentäminen. TRIM59 omaa transmembraanisen domaanin ja on solukalvoproteiini. TRIM59 pystyy myös säätelemään onkogeeni EGFR/STAT3- signaalitietä (Glioomassa tällä tiellä on merkitystä) . Maksasyöpäsolut ilmentävät runsaasti TRIM59, joka voi toimia täten biomerkitsijänä tälle syövälle TRIM59 pystyy tekemään interaktion aktiiniin ja myosiiniin assosioituviin proteiineihin. TRIM59 puutteessa F-aktiinin polymerisaatio häiriintyi solun sisämaterian differentiaation aikana. TRIM59 saattaa olla kriittisen tärkeä alkion varhaiskehityksen säätelijänä blastokysti vaiheesta gastrulaan (F-aktiinin koostuminen).

COVID 19 taudin molekyyleistä

https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(20)30627-9

Summary

Early detection and effective treatment of severe COVID-19 patients remain major challenges. Here, we performed proteomic and metabolomic profiling of sera from 46 COVID-19 and 53 control individuals. We then trained a machine learning model using proteomic and metabolomic measurements from a training cohort of 18 non-severe and 13 severe patients. The model was validated using 10 independent patients, 7 of which were correctly classified. Targeted proteomics and metabolomics assays were employed to further validate this molecular classifier in a second test cohort of 19 COVID-19 patients, leading to 16 correct assignments. We identified molecular changes in the sera of COVID-19 patients compared to other groups implicating dysregulation of macrophage, platelet degranulation, complement system pathways, and massive metabolic suppression. This study revealed characteristic protein and metabolite changes in the sera of severe COVID-19 patients, which might be used in selection of potential blood biomarkers for severity evaluation.
 

Introduction

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an unprecedented global threat caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is currently spreading around the world rapidly. The sudden outbreak and accelerated spreading of SARS-CoV-2 infection have caused substantial public concerns. Within about 3 months, over 2 million individuals worldwide have been infected, leading to over 150,000 deaths.
Most COVID-19 studies have focused on its epidemiological and clinical characteristics ( , ). About 80% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 displayed mild symptoms with good prognosis. They usually recover with, or even without, conventional medical treatment and therefore are classified as mild or moderate COVID-19 ( ). However, about 20% of patients suffer from respiratory distress and require immediate oxygen therapy or other inpatient interventions, including mechanical ventilation ( , ). These patients, classified as clinically severe or critical life-threatening infections, are mainly diagnosed empirically based on a set of clinical characteristics, such as respiratory rate (≥30 times/min), mean oxygen saturation (≤93% in the resting state), or arterial blood oxygen partial pressure/oxygen concentration (≤300 mmHg). However, patients exhibiting these clinical manifestations have already progressed to a clinically severe phase and require immediate access to specialized intensive care; otherwise, they may die rapidly. Therefore, it is critical to develop new approaches to assess early which cases will likely become clinically severe. In addition, effective therapy for severe patients remains speculative, largely due to limited understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis.
In this study, we hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 induces characteristic molecular changes that can be detected in the sera of severe patients. These molecular changes may shed light on therapy development for COVID-19 patients. To test this hypothesis, we applied proteomic ( , ) and metabolomic ( , ) technologies to analyze the proteome and metabolome of sera from COVID-19 patients and several control groups.

Results

 Proteomic and Metabolomic Profiling of COVID-19 Sera

We procured a cohort of patients ( ) containing 28 severe COVID-19 patients. The detailed patient descriptions including the sampling date for each patient are shown in Figure 1A, Table 1, and Table S1. Controls with matched epidemiological features were included to identify severity-related molecular alterations. These controls were 28 healthy subjects, 25 non-COVID-19 patients (negative for the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test) with similar clinical characteristics as COVID-19 patients, and 25 non-severe COVID-19 patients. A serum sample was obtained from each patient within a few days after hospital admission, with a few exceptions when samplings were performed at later disease stages. We analyzed 12 clinical measurements of the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients (Figure S1), including white blood cell count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, platelet count, C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamyltransferase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), creatinine, and glucose. Compared to non-severe patients, severe patients showed significant suppression of lymphocyte count and monocyte count, as well as increase of CRP and AST (Figure S1).
