| - | + | The S-protein of SARS-CoV-2 expressed by the ORF1b gene is trimeric in structure, where each monomer is 180 kDa in size and has two main subunits, an S1 and an S2 subunit. S1 subunit attaches itself to the host cell angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) transmembrane protein. S2 subunit acts in the fusion process of the S-protein which is done by the cleavage protease transmembrane serine or furin. | |
