SARS-CoV-2 spike protein undergoes a dramatic conformational rearrangement that plays a central role in fusing the coronavirus membrane with the host cell membrane. Similar conformational transformations have been observed for the spike protein of SARS-CoV and mouse hepatitis virus, among others. These rearrangements also have much in common with the membrane fusion mechansism of influenza hemagglutinin.

Coronavirus Spike Protein Membrane Fusion

by Eric Martz
SARS-CoV-2 spike protein "spears" the host membrane with a fusion peptide and drags the virus envelope membrane transmembrane domain close to the host membrane, initiating fusion. This moves the virus RNA genome into the host cell, initiating infection.
