Human TMPRSS2 non-catalytic ectodomain and SARS-CoV-2 S2’ subunit interaction mediated SARS-CoV-2 endocytosis: A model proposal with virtual screening for potential drug molecules to inhibit this interaction
2022-04-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>This study proposes a novel model for SARS-CoV-2 viral integration into the host cell via endocytosis pathway and hence a target for preventive treatment of COVID-19 infection. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein undergoes proteolytic cleavage at S1-S2 cleavage site and the cleaved out S2 domain is further cleaved by the activated serine protease domain of humanTMPRSS2 to become S2'. The activated...
