Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus whose success as a pathogen relies on its ability to repurpose host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to form its own RNA interactome. Here, we developed and applied a robust ribonucleoprotein capture protocol to uncover the SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome. We report 109 host factors that directly bind to SARS-CoV-2 RNAs including general antiviral factors such as ZC3HAV1, TRIM25, and PARP12. Applying RNP capture on another coronavirus HCoV-OC43 revealed evolutionarily conserved interactions between viral RNAs and host proteins. Network and transcriptome analyses delineated antiviral RBPs stimulated by JAK-STAT signaling and proviral RBPs responsible for hijacking multiple steps of the mRNA life cycle. By knockdown experiments, we further found that these viral-RNA-interacting RBPs act against or in favor of SARS-CoV-2. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive list of RBPs regulating coronaviral replication and opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions.

Calu-3suggested: KCLB Cat# 30055, RRID:CVCL_0609)Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources Preparation of antisense oligonucleotide templates: By scanning the genomic RNAs of SARS-CoV-2 (NCBI RefSeq accession NC_045512.2) and HCoV-OC43 (GenBank accession AY391777.1) from head to tail, partially overlapping 90 nt tiles were enumerated. RefSeqsuggested: (RefSeq, RRID:SCR_003496)Peptides from common contaminant proteins were identified by utilizing the contaminant database provided by MaxQuant. MaxQuantsuggested: (MaxQuant, RRID:SCR_014485)To improve the explanatory power of this analysis, we used the weight01 algorithm (Alexa et al., 2006) from the topGO R package which accounts for the GO graph structure and reduces local dependencies between GO terms. topGOsuggested: (topGO, RRID:SCR_014798)Detailed information of the Gene Ontology was from the GO.db R package (version 3.8.2), and GO gene annotations were from the org. GO.dbsuggested: NoneProtein-protein interaction network analysis: We integrated protein-protein interaction data from the BioGRID database (Release 3.5.187) (Stark et al., 2006) and retrieved other proteins that do not necessarily bind to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA but form either transient or stable physical interactions with the host proteins identified from the RNP capture experiments. BioGRIDsuggested: (BioGrid Australia, RRID:SCR_006334)Protein domain enrichment analysis: Pfam database (version 33.1) (El-Gebali et al., 2019) was used for protein domain enrichment analysis.
