Coronavirus hemagglutinin-esterase and spike proteins co-evolve for functional balance and optimal virion avidity

2020-04-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human coronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 are respiratory pathogen of zoonotic origin that have gained worldwide distribution. OC43 apparently emerged from a bovine coronavirus (BCoV) spill-over. All three viruses attach to 9- O -acetylated sialoglycans via spike protein S with hemagglutinin-esterase HE acting as a receptor-destroying enzyme. In BCoV, an HE lectin domain promotes esterase activity towa...
