Genome-wide Bioinformatics Analysis of Human Protease Specificity Identified Potential Cathepsin L Cleavage Site at K790 Position of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein

2023-08-21

Abstract excerpt

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) primarily enters the cell by binding the virus’s spike (S) glycoprotein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the cell surface, followed by proteolytic cleavage by host proteases. Studies have identified furin and TMPRSS2 proteases in priming and triggering cleavages of the S glycoprotein, converting it into a fusion-competent for...
