While distinct in nature, these outbreaks share some similarities and offer valuable insights into responding to novel virus dissemination in vulnerable populations. In light of these two experiences, we aim to discern the prioritization of medical countermeasures (MCM) among antivirals, antibodies, and vaccines. Comparative analysis of MCMs reveals that while antivirals serve essential roles as therapeutic tools, monoclonal antibodies can be used for both prevention and treatment, and vaccines remain of paramount importance for controlling epidemics as mass or targeted prophylaxis. Variability in production processes, administration methods, logistics, and costs distinguish these countermeasures. Vaccines, by inducing long-lasting immunity and ideally promoting herd effects, exhibit substantial advantages over other options. To enhance future pandemic readiness, proactive measures must include ready-to-use vaccine platforms with regulatory approval and manufacturing capacities, as well as prototype vaccines for representative pathogens and preexisting protocols to evaluate their efficacies and side effects. The comparison underscores the challenges of social acceptance and equity, particularly in vaccine production and distribution. As the world faces unknown agents, the three major types of MCMs do not have equal and symmetrical effects in terms of epidemic control.

Novel mAb-based immunotherapies may help address the reduced efficacy of current vaccines and neutralizing mAbs caused by the emergence of variants of concern (VOCs). Using phage display technology, we discovered a pan-SARS-CoV-2 mAb (C10) that targets a conserved region within the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the virus. Noteworthy, C10 demonstrates exceptional efficacy in recognizing all assessed VOCs, including recent Omicron variants.

Despite its importance, the intricacies of the M ubiquitination cascade have remained elusive. In this study, we elucidate a novel mechanism by which Nipah virus (NiV), a highly pathogenic henipavirus, utilizes a ubiquitination complex involving the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme RAD6A and the E3 ubiquitin ligase RAD18 to ubiquitinate the virus's M protein, thereby facilitating its nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking. We demonstrate that RAD18 interacts with RAD6A, enabling the latter to supply ubiquitins for the RAD18-mediated transfer of ubiquitin to M through RAD18-M interactions. Specifically, M is ubiquitinated by the RAD6A-RAD18 complex at lysine (K) 258 through a K63-linked ubiquitination, a modification crucial for M's function. This ubiquitination drives M's relocation to the cytoplasm, directing it to plasma membranes for effective viral egress. Conversely, disrupting the RAD6A-RAD18-M axis, mutating RAD18's E3 ligase activity, or inhibiting RAD6A activity with TZ9 (a RAD6-ubiquitin thioester formation inhibitor) impairs M ubiquitination, resulting in defective nuclear export and budding of NiV. Significantly, live NiV and Hendra virus infection is attenuated in RAD18 knockout cells or in cells treated with TZ9, highlighting the critical physiological role of RAD6A-RAD18-mediated M ubiquitination in the henipavirus life cycle. Our findings not only reveal how NiV manipulates a nucleus-localized ubiquitination complex to promote virus's M protein ubiquitination and nuclear export, but also suggest that the small molecule inhibitor TZ9 could serve as a potential therapeutic against henipavirus infection.</p>","PeriodicalId":11602,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Microbes & Infections","volume":" ","pages":"2432344"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11632932/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142767274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
