Chemical Biology Discovery Center Emory University Atlanta Georgia 30322 4 Received 12 January 2011 Accepted 8 April 2011 Coronaviruses are a family of enveloped single stranded positive sense RNA viruses causing respiratory enteric and neurologic diseases in mammals and fowl Human coronaviruses are recognized to cause up to a third of common colds and are suspected to be involved in enteric and neurologic diseases Coronavirus replication involves the generation of nested subgenomic mRNAs sgmRNAs with a common capped 5H11541 leader sequence The translation of most of the sgmRNAs is thought to be cap dependent and displays a requirement for eukaryotic initiation factor 4F eIF4F a heterotrimeric complex needed for the recruitment of 40S ribosomes We recently reported on an ultrahigh throughput screen to discover compounds that inhibit eIF4F activity by blocking the interaction of two of its subunits R Cencic et al Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108 1046 1051 2011 Herein we describe a molecule from this screen that prevents the interaction between eIF4E the cap binding protein and eIF4G a large scaffolding protein inhibiting cap dependent translation This inhibitor significantly decreased human coronavirus 229E HCoV 229E replication reducing the per centage of infected cells and intra and extracellular infectious virus titers Our results support the strategy of targeting the eIF4F complex to block coronavirus infection Coronaviruses are ubiquitous enveloped single stranded positive sense RNA viruses that contain a 27 to 32 kb genome and cause a variety of respiratory enteric and neurologic diseases in mammals and fowl 12 Although they have been known since the mid 1960s human coronaviruses HCoV 23 gained notoriety following the 2002 2003 outbreak of one of their family members SARS CoV severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus By virtue of an RNA dependent RNA polymerase a series of 3H11032 coterminal nested subgenomic mR NAs sgmRNAs are generated that contain a common 5H11032 leader sequence but the mechanism by which they recruit ribosomes is not known 11 In eukaryotes cellular translation is thought to occur by one of two mechanisms a cap dependent mechanism involving eu karyotic initiation factor 4F eIF4F and a cap independent mechanism in which ribosomes are recruited internally to an internal ribosome entry site IRES via specific mRNA struc tural motifs present upstream of the initiation codon eIF4F consists of eIF4E the cap binding protein eIF4A an RNA helicase and eIF4G a large scaffolding protein There are two isoforms of eIF4G eIF4GI and eIF4GII that are 46 iden tical All structural features of eIF4GI are present on eIF4GII eIF4E is the least abundant initiation factor and it is thought that this renders cap recognition the rate limiting step in ini tiation The availability of eIF4E to assemble into the eIF4F complex is regulated by the mTOR pathway due to sequestra tion by binding to a negative regulator 4E BP there are three 4E BPs in a cell with the best characterized one being 4E BP1 Upon activation by upstream signals mTOR phosphor ylates 4E BP1 which causes the eIF4E 4E BP1 binary com plex to dissociate Since eIF4G and the 4E BPs share binding sites on eIF4E the removal of 4E BP1 allows eIF4E to enter the eIF4F complex When mTOR activity is reduced e g amino acid starvation or energy depletion eIF4F levels are diminished due to the sequestration of eIF4E by 4E BPs and cap dependent translation is squelched The overex pression of 4E BP1 in cells impairs coronavirus replication suggesting that the translation of some viral sgmRNAs or mRNA encoding a cellular factor s required for viral rep lication is cap dependent 5 We recently reported on an ultrahigh throughput screen that identified several new inhibitors of eIF4E eIF4G interac tion 7 Herein we report on the characterization of an in hibitor of eIF4E eIF4G interaction called 4E2RCat We dem onstrate that this inhibitor is capable of blocking coronavirus replication as monitored by viral protein expression and the production of infectious virus MATERIALS AND METHODS Ultrahigh throughput screening for eIF4E eIF4G inhibitors High throughput screening for eIF4E eIF4G interaction inhibitors has been described in detail previously 7 8 In brief a time resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer TR FRET based high throughput assay was miniaturized to a 1 536 well for mat and optimized It was used to screen a library of 217 341 compounds from the Molecule Library

solvent mapping 4 of the three dimensional structures of eIF4E has been performed previously 7 and was used to identify the binding site for 4E2RCat The available X ray structures of human eIF4E were downloaded from the Protein Data Bank Mapping was performed after removing all other molecules except for m 7 GTP since 4E2RCat does not compete with 5H11032 mRNA cap structures for binding to eIF4E The atomic coordinates of 4E2RCat were obtained from PubChem but the molecule was considered flexible in docking MGLtools version 1 5 4 was used to prepare the ligand and receptor for docking and the graphical front end for setting up and running the AutoDock docking software AutoDock Vina 1 1 0 with standard settings was used to perform the docking 24 The most likely binding pose for 4E2RCat was selected using an algorithm that scores bound poses based on the degree of overlap between the compound and the atom densities calculated from the solvent mapping results and the most likely binding pose for 4E2RCat was also the lowest energy pose Virus and cell lines Strain 229E of human coronavirus HCoV 229E origi nally was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection ATCC and was grown

dependent renilla HCV Ren cistron that is not dependent on eIF4F for its initiation Fig 1B The specificity of the bicistronic mRNA was assessed using m 7 GDP as a specific inhibitor and GDP as a nonspecific inhibitor of cap dependent in vitro translation As expected m 7 GDP inhibited the translation of FF but not HCV Ren Fig 1B compare lane 2 to lane 1 whereas GDP had no effect on the translation of either of the two cistrons Fig 1B compare lane 3 to lane 1 The elongation inhibitor anisomycin equally inhibited the translation of the cap dependent FF and IRES dependent Ren cistron

at 100 H9262M suggesting some off target effects at this very high con centration Fig 1B We note that an increase in HCV driven translation is observed upon the inhibition of cap dependent translation at 25 H9262M and likely reflects the increased availabil ity of free ribosomes an effect previously reported with other eIF4F inhibitors 2 3 7 Another IRES the encephalomyo carditis virus EMCV IRES
