Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3-beta (GSK3β) blocks nucleocapsid phosphorylation and SARS-CoV-2 replication
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract GSK3β has been proposed to have an essential role in Coronaviridae infection. Screening of a targeted library of GSK3β inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-229E resulted in identification of high proportion of active compounds with low toxicity to host cells. A select lead compound, T-1686568, showed dose-dependent activity against SARS-CoV-2 transcription, translation and viral particle release in multiple cell lines and primary organoids. A protein kinase substrate profiling assay combined with western blot analysis showed that SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid is phosphorylated by GSK3β on S180/S184, S190/S194 and T198 which have already been primed in the adjacent phospho-sites S188, T198 and S206 respectively. Inhibition by T-1686568 resulted in reduction of the S1 Spike protein levels, an accumulation of the Nucleocapsid (N) protein and maintenance of the non-structural (NSP2) level in infected Huh-7.5.1 cells, indicating that N phosphorylation might serve as a critical precursor for processing and release of mature viruses.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
