Abstract
En 中文
Respiratory viruses represent a major global health burden. Although these viruses have different life cycles, they may depend on common host genetic factors, which could be targeted by broad-spectrum host-directed therapies. We used genome-wide CRISPR screens and advanced data analytics to map a network of host genes that support infection by nine human respiratory viruses [influenza A virus, parainfluenza virus, human rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, human coronavirus (HCoV)-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2]. We explored shared pathways using knowledge graphs to inform on pharmacological targets. We selected and validated STT3A/B proteins of the N-oligosaccharyltransferase complex as host targets of broad-spectrum antiviral small molecules. Our work highlights the commonalities of viral host genetic dependencies and the feasibility of using this information to develop broad-spectrum antiviral agents.
