The helicase from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)
possesses NTPase, duplex RNA/DNA-unwinding and RNA-capping activities that are
essential for viral replication and proliferation. Here, we have isolated DNA
aptamers against the SARS-CoV helicase from a combinatorial DNA library. These
aptamers show two distinct classes of secondary structure, G-quadruplex and
non-G-quadruplex, as shown by circular dichroism and gel electrophoresis. All of
the aptamers that were selected stimulated ATPase activity of the SARS-CoV
helicase with low-nanomolar apparent K(m) values. Intriguingly, only the
non-G-quadruplex aptamers showed specific inhibition of helicase activities,
whereas the G-quadruplex aptamers did not inhibit helicase activities. The
non-G-quadruplex aptamer with the strongest inhibitory potency was modified at
the 3'-end with biotin or inverted thymidine, and the modification increased its
stability in serum, particularly for the inverted thymidine modification.
Structural diversity in selection coupled to post-selection stabilisation has
provided new insights into the aptamers that were selected for a helicase target.
These aptamers are being further developed to inhibit SARS-CoV replication.
