| + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SPIKE_SARS2 SPIKE_SARS2] attaches the virion to the cell membrane by interacting with host receptor, initiating the infection (By similarity). Binding to human ACE2 receptor and internalization of the virus into the endosomes of the host cell induces conformational changes in the Spike glycoprotein (PubMed:32142651, PubMed:32075877, PubMed:32155444). Uses also human TMPRSS2 for priming in human lung cells which is an essential step for viral entry (PubMed:32142651). Proteolysis by cathepsin CTSL may unmask the fusion peptide of S2 and activate membranes fusion within endosomes.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099]<ref>PMID:32075877</ref> <ref>PMID:32142651</ref> <ref>PMID:32155444</ref> mediates fusion of the virion and cellular membranes by acting as a class I viral fusion protein. Under the current model, the protein has at least three conformational states: pre-fusion native state, pre-hairpin intermediate state, and post-fusion hairpin state. During viral and target cell membrane fusion, the coiled coil regions (heptad repeats) assume a trimer-of-hairpins structure, positioning the fusion peptide in close proximity to the C-terminal region of the ectodomain. The formation of this structure appears to drive apposition and subsequent fusion of viral and target cell membranes.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099] Acts as a viral fusion peptide which is unmasked following S2 cleavage occurring upon virus endocytosis.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099] | ||

| + | Nanobodies are natural anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug candidates. Engineering multivalent nanobodies is an effective way to improve the functional binding affinity of natural nanobodies by simultaneously targeting multiple sites on viral proteins. However, multivalent nanobodies have usually been engineered by trial and error, and rational designs are still lacking. Here, we describe a structure-guided design of a self-assembled trivalent nanobody cluster targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Using the nanobody Nb6 as a monovalent binder, we first selected a human-derived trimerization scaffold evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations, then selected an optimal linker according to the minimum distance between Nb6 and the trimerization scaffold, and finally successfully engineered a trivalent nanobody cluster called Tribody. Compared with the low-affinity monovalent counterpart (Nb6), Tribody showed much higher target binding affinity (K(D) < 1 pM) and thus had a 900-fold increase in antiviral neutralization against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus. We determined the cryo-EM structure of the Tribody-spike complex and confirmed that all three Nb6 binders of Tribody collectively bind to the three receptor-binding domains (RBDs) of the spike and lock them in a 3-RBD-down conformation, fully consistent with our structure-guided design. This study demonstrates that synthetic nanobody clusters with human-derived self-assembled scaffolds are potential protein drugs against SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses. | ||
