(a) Activation of the assay by WT Nsp5 and the C145A catalytically inactive mutant 20 h post transfection. Mean of 3 independent experiments + SD. (b) Representative Western blot showing the expression levels of Nsp5 catalytic mutant and its inability to cleave ACE2 reporter. (c) Gaussia activity induced by WT Nsp5 protein and E166V Nsp mutant in the presence of nirmatrelvir and (d) relative sensitivity of both proteins to the inhibitor. Mean of 3 independent experiments + SD. ***P < 0.001, unpaired Student’s t-test.
