Purpose

The SARS-CoV epidemic of 2002 had a brief period of reemergence in 2003-04, during which the pathogenicity of the virus was lower and patients showed milder symptoms and no deaths. Studies have found that the reemerged virus had weaker interactions with ACE2 than the virus circulating during the epidemic (Walls et al.). SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic has been shown to have stronger polar interactions with ACE2 than SARS-CoV, likely due to a difference in polar residues (Yan et al.). This research project aims to see if the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is related to the strength of the polar interactions between the virus and ACE2 by comparing the different polar residues of the three different viruses.

Generation of Phylogenetic Tree

  • Generate a phylogenetic tree using the chosen S protein sequences
    • Tree will show the relationship between the three SARS viruses
    • Generate tree on www.phylogeny.fr
      • "One Click" under "Phylogeny Analysis"
      • Upload FASTA files of all sequences and submit, tree will generate
  • Figure 1: Phylogenetic tree for the sequences chosen for this study:

  • Analysis of the phylogenetic tree:
    • The sequences for each virus cluster together, there are no strains more closely related to strains from another SARS virus
    • The SARS strains from 2002 and 2003-04 form their own clade before splitting of into a clade for each virus
      • Suggests that the SARS-CoV strains are more closely related to each other than they are to strains from SARS-CoV-2
    • Multiple branch points in the clade with all SARS-CoV-2 strains
      • Suggests notable sequence differences among different strains
      • Sequence from bat in its own clade separate from others
        • Likely due to virus originating in bats

Scientific Conclusion

The purpose of this research project was to see if the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is related to the strength of the polar interactions between the virus and ACE2 by comparing the different polar residues of the three different viruses. Analysis of residue difference in the RBD region suggests that this is not the case, as there were no residue changes between the SARS-CoV epidemic and reemergence strains in areas that interacted with ACE2. Had the strength of this interaction be a determinant for pathogenicity, less polar residues would be present in areas of key interaction with ACE2. However, phylogentic analysis suggests that the SARS-CoV epidemic and reemergence strains are significantly different from one another, since they received their own respective clades. Future research should investigate other areas in the S protein sequence that showed high densities of non-perfect alignment to see if they have an affect on pathogenicity.
