Spike glycoprotein and host cell determinants of SARS-CoV-2 entry and cytopathic effects
2020-10-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> SARS-CoV-2, a betacoronavirus, is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein trimer mediates virus entry into host cells and cytopathic effects. We studied the contribution of several S glycoprotein features to these functions, focusing on those that differ among related coronaviruses. Acquisition of the furin cleavage site by the SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein decrease...
