Abstract

The first encoded SARS-CoV-2 protein (Nsp1) binds to the human 40S ribosome and blocks synthesis of host proteins, thereby inhibiting critical elements of the innate immune response. The final 33 residues of the natively unstructured Nsp1 C-terminus adopt a helix-turn-helix geometry upon binding to the ribosome. We have characterized the fluctuating conformations of this peptide using circular dichroism spectroscopy along with measurements of tryptophan fluorescence and energy transfer. Tryptophan fluorescence decay kinetics reveal that copper(II) binds to the peptide at micromolar concentrations, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy indicates that the metal ion coordinates to the lone histidine residue.
