Receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 is a functional αv-integrin agonist
2022-04-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Among the novel mutations distinguishing SARS-CoV-2 from similar respiratory coronaviruses is a K403R substitution in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike (S) protein within its S1 region. This amino acid substitution occurs near the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-binding interface and gives rise to a canonical RGD adhesion motif that is often found in native extracellula...
