A single transformed colony of the YBS40 strain containing plasmids expressing human N7-MTase (MT-Human), SARS-CoV N7-MTase (MT-SARS), N7-MTases of other coronaviruses (MT-MHV, MT-TGEV, and MT-IBV), and the pMceK294A vector as control (representing the yeast N7-MTase [MT-Yeast]), were inoculated separately into 5 ml of a basic medium (Min SD Base) lacking tryptophan and incubated at 30°C for 21-24 h until reaching a similar final cell density in the stationary phase (0.5-1.0 Â 10 8 cells/ml) (Chrebet et al., 2005) . Although AdoHcy, ATA and sinefungin, were previously reported to be inhibitors of coronavirus RNA MTases in vitro , only sinefungin significantly suppressed the growth of the MT-yeast, MT-human, and MT-SARS yeast cells (Fig. 3 ). ./cache/cord-336093-ic6q6ke8.txt ./txt/cord-336093-ic6q6ke8.txt
