SARS coronavirus Open Reading Frame 6 (ORF6) proteins block nucleocytoplasmic transport to evade host immunity, but the precise mechanism has been controversial. Solving this problem will help us understand SARS evolution and pathogenesis. To address this question, we made quantitative measurements of the concentration dependence of nuclear transport inhibition by ORF6, and informative mutants, in single living cells. SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 was strikingly more potent than SARS-CoV-1 ORF6, mainly due to its shorter C terminus. The N-terminal region promoted ORF6 oligomerization which was required for multivalent interaction with nuclear pores and could be replaced by synthetic oligomerizers. Our methods could be adapted to measure the concentration dependence of any protein whose effect can be scored in single live cells. Open Reading Frame 6 (ORF6) proteins, which are unique to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related (SARS) coronavirus, inhibit the classical nuclear import pathway to antagonize host antiviral responses. Several alternative models were proposed to explain the inhibitory function of ORF6 [H. Xia et al., Cell Rep. 33, 108234 (2020); L. Miorin et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 117, 28344–28354 (2020); and M. Frieman et al., J. Virol. 81, 9812–9824 (2007)]. To distinguish these models and build quantitative understanding of ORF6 function, we developed a method for scoring both ORF6 concentration and functional effect in single living cells. We combined quantification of untagged ORF6 expression level in single cells with optogenetics-based measurement of nuclear transport kinetics, using methods that could be adapted to measure concentration-dependent effects of any untagged protein. We found that SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 is ~15 times more potent than SARS-CoV-1 ORF6 in inhibiting nuclear import and export, due to differences in the C-terminal region that is required for the NUP98–RAE1 binding. The N-terminal region was required for transport inhibition. This region binds membranes but could be replaced by synthetic constructs which forced oligomerization in solution, suggesting its primary function is oligomerization. We propose that the hydrophobic N-terminal region drives oligomerization of ORF6 to multivalently cross-link the NUP98–RAE1 complexes at the nuclear pore complex, and this multivalent binding inhibits bidirectional transport.
