SARS-Cov-2 Spike Protein Mutation at Cysteine-488 Impairs Its Golgi Localization And Intracellular S1/S2 Processing
2022-10-18
Abstract excerpt
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein binds to the cell receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) as the first step in viral cell entry. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein expression in ACE2-expressing cell surface induces cell–cell membrane fusion, thus forming syncytia. To exert its fusiogenic activity, the spike protein is typically processed at a specific site (S1/S2 site...
