RNA-Protein Interaction Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 5' and 3' Untranslated Regions Reveals a Role of Lysosome-Associated Membrane Protein-2a during Viral Infection.

ABSTRACT: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a positive-strand RNA virus. The viral genome is capped at the 5' end, followed by an untranslated region (UTR). There is a poly(A) tail at the 3' end, preceded by a UTR. The self-interaction between the RNA regulatory elements present within the 5' and 3' UTRs and their interaction with host/virus-encoded proteins mediate the function of the 5' and 3' UTRs. Using an RNA-protein interaction detection (RaPID) assay coupled to liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, we identified host interaction partners of SARS-CoV-2 5' and 3' UTRs and generated an RNA-protein interaction network. By combining these data with the previously known protein-protein interaction data proposed to be involved in virus replication, we gen
