ABSTRACT
Viruses are dependent on interactions with host factors in order to efficiently establish an infection and replicate. Targeting such interactions provides an attractive strategy to develop novel antivirals. Syntenin is a protein known to regulate the architecture of cellular membranes by its involvement in protein trafficking, and has previously been shown to be important for HPV infection. Here we show that a highly potent and metabolically stable peptide inhibitor that binds to the PDZ1 domain of syntenin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection by blocking the endosomal entry of the virus. Furthermore, we found that the inhibitor also hampered chikungunya infection, and strongly reduced flavivirus infection, which are completely dependent on receptor mediated endocytosis for their entry. In conclusion, we have identified a novel pan-viral inhibitor that efficiently target a broad range of RNA viruses.
