Purpose

The SARS-CoV epidemic in 2002 briefly reemergence in 2003-04, but the pathogenicity of the reemerged virus was lower and patients showed milder symptoms. According to Walls et al., 2020, the reemerged virus had weaker interactions with hACE2. SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the current pandemic, shows stronger polar interactions with certain regions of with hACE2 according to Yan et al.,2020. 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.

  • Symbols denoting differences between sequences:
    • * = perfect alignment
    • : = strong similarity
    • . = weak similarity
    • - no similarity
  • Multiple regions showed non-perfect alignments
    • Key regions characterized by the amount of non "*" symbols
    • Receptor binding domain. RBD of spike protein was the area of interest
      • RBD is what interacts with ACE2
      • RBD is bold in sequence alignment above
  • Chosen sequence with highlighted regions of most difference:
    • SARS-CoV epidemic and reemergence – identical in the highlighted regions
    • Between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 – 9/13 are changed

Phylogenetic Tree

  • Phylogenetic tree created using the chosen S protein sequences
  • Tree was generated on www.phylogeny.fr
    • Used "One Click" under "Phylogeny Analysis"
    • Uploaded FASTA files of all sequences and pressed "submit"
  • Phylogenetic tree for the sequences chosen for this study:

  • Tree shows the relationship between the three SARS viruses
    • Sequences for each virus cluster together
    • 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
    • Tree suggests notable sequence differences among different strains
      • Bat sequence(QHR63300.2) in its own clade
        • Likely due to virus originating in bats

Visualization of Protein Structure

  • Virus IDs searched in NCBI, structures visualized in NCBI Structure viewer iCn3D

Scientific Conclusion

This research project set out to determine if the variations in the amino acids of the spike glycoprotein were responsible for the infectiousness of the virus. It was found that although the mortality of the SARS reemergence was much lower than that of the epidemic virus strain, the sequences were virtually identical, suggesting that differences in interactions in a different region of interest may be the cause of this. Furthermore, the phylogenetic tree and multiple sequence alignment show amino acid differences between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, which show that the interactions of the virus with key areas on hACE2 are stronger, which translates to the increased transmissibility of the virus.
