The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus encodes a papain-like cysteine protease PLpro (NSP3) that cleaves the viral polyprotein, removes ubiquitin-like ISG15 protein modifications and (with lower activity) Lys48-linked polyubiquitin chains. As PLPro is essential for SARS-CoV-2 replication, it represents a promising target for the development of antiviral drugs. In light of this and to complement our well-known ubiquitin based reagents, we are expanding our portfolio of ISG15 based reagents.....(more)

The global epidemic of three coronaviruses has emerged in this century so far: SARS-CoV-1 in 2002, MERS-CoV in 2012 and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019. Current studies indicate that SARS-CoV-2 is similar to SARS-CoV-1. Although these three coronaviruses are identified as highly pathogenic for humans, there is no effective antiviral treatment. Therefore, current studies are focused on rapid development of vaccines and antiviral drugs to prevent and treat coronavirus infection....(more)
