Methylation of RNA Cap in SARS-CoV-2 captured by serial crystallography 2020-08-16 .txt text/plain 5348 308 56 To investigate the 2′-O methyltransferase activity of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp10/16, we applied fixed-target serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX) which allows for physiological temperature data collection from thousands of crystals, significantly reducing the x-ray dose while maintaining a biologically relevant temperature. We conducted serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX) experiments at 297 K to test whether low radiation dose could help uncover the structure of Nsp10/16 in a complex with Cap-1. The SARS-CoV-2 Nsp10/16 2′-O MTase complex provides a molecular arrangement for binding of the mRNA Cap-0 and subsequent methylation of the first transcribed nucleotide. The further development of SSX and implementation of time-resolved SSX crystallography is an approach that could visualize chemical processes and protein molecular dynamics -such as of the transfer of the methyl group catalyzed by Nsp10/16 2′O-MTase from SARS-CoV-2.
