The extensive sequence data generated from SARS-CoV-2 during the 2020 pandemic has facilitated the study of viral genome evolution over a brief period of time. This has highlighted instances of directional mutation pressures exerted on the SARS-CoV-2 genome from host antiviral defense systems. In this brief review we describe three such human defense mechanisms, the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic polypeptide-like proteins (APOBEC), adenosine deaminase acting on RNA proteins (ADAR), and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and discuss their potential implications on SARS-CoV-2 evolution.
2020年疫情期间从严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)产生的大量序列数据,有助于在短时间内研究病毒基因组的进化。这突出了宿主抗病毒防御系统对SARS-CoV-2基因组施加定向突变压力的实例。在这篇简短的综述中,我们描述了三种这样的人体防御机制,即载脂蛋白B信使核糖核酸编辑催化多肽样蛋白(APOBEC)、作用于RNA的腺苷脱氨酶(ADAR)和活性氧(ROS),并讨论它们对SARS-CoV-2进化的潜在影响。
