Function

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]^[1] ^[2] ^[3] 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]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 causing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resulted in >500 million infections. A great deal about the molecular processes of virus infection in the host is getting uncovered. Two sequential proteolytic cleavages of viral spike protein by host proteases are prerequisites for the entry of the virus into the host cell. The first cleavage occurs at S1/S2 site by the furin protease, and the second cleavage at a fusion activation site, the S2' site, by the TMPRSS2 protease. S2' cleavage site is present in the S2 domain of spike protein followed by a fusion peptide. Given the S2' site to be conserved among all the SARS-CoV-2 variants, we chose an S2' epitope encompassing the S2' cleavage site and generated single-chain antibodies (scFvs) through an exhaustive phage display library screening. Crystal structure of a scFv in complex with S2' epitope was determined. Incidentally, S2' epitope in the scFv bound structure adopts an alpha-helical conformation equivalent to the conformation of the epitope in the spike protein. Furthermore, these scFvs can bind to the spike protein expressed either in vitro or on the mammalian cell surface. We illustrate a molecular model based on structural and biochemical insights into the antibody-S2' epitope interaction emphasizing scFvs mediated blocking of virus entry into the host cell by restricting the access of TMPRSS2 protease and consequently inhibiting the S2' cleavage competitively.
