Atypical N-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 impairs the efficient binding of Spike-RBM to the human-host receptor hACE2
2021-04-10
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 internalization by human host cells relies on the molecular binding of its spike glycoprotein (SGP) to the angiotensin-converting-enzyme-2 (hACE2) receptor. It remains unknown whether atypical N-glycosylation of SGP modulates SARS-CoV-2 tropism for infections. Here, we address this question through an extensive bioinformatics analysis of publicly available structural and genetic data. We identified two...
