New study suggests that linoleic acid scavenging by #coronavirus may disrupt regulation of immune/inflammatory pathways, causing severe inflammatory damage to the lungs & endothelial cells in the heart, kidneys & intestines.
twitter.com/DrDenaGrayson/status/1274...The current pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is not the first human coronavirus (CoV) infection to affect the world. There have been four other endemic CoVs, OC43, 229E, HKU1 and NL63, and two pandemic CoVs, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. However, the most intensive research efforts ever to identify the factors that contribute to the rapid transmission and high pathogenic potential of SARS-CoV-2 are underway.
Now, a new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv* in June 2020 reports the discovery of a novel free fatty acid (FFA) binding pocket on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that could explain in part the viral effects of
1
hyperinflammation,
2
immune modulation, and
3
membrane structure.
