Spike N354 glycosylation augments SARS-CoV-2 fitness for human adaptation through structural plasticity
12 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Selective pressures have given rise to a number of SARS-CoV-2 variants during the prolonged course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently evolved variants differ from ancestors in additional glycosylation within the spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD). Details of how the acquisition of glycosylation impacts viral fitness and human adaptation are not clearly understood. Here, we dissected the role of...
