Bat sarbecovirus WIV1-CoV bears an adaptive mutation that alters spike dynamics and enhances ACE2 binding
2025-04-15
Abstract excerpt
SARS-like betacoronaviruses (sarbecoviruses) endemic in bats pose a significant zoonotic threat to humans. Genetic pathways associated with spillover of bat sarbecoviruses into humans are incompletely understood. We previously showed that the WT spike of the rhinolophid bat coronavirus SHC014-CoV has poor entry activity and uncovered two distinct genetic pathways outside the receptor-binding domain (RBD) that incr...
