Contents
Disease
The spike glycoprotein is associated with the noval human COV2 responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).The s-protein froms the sructural protein of the SARS-COV-2 virus which gives it crown-like from.
Function
SARS-COV-2 utilizes s-protein to facilitate attachment to host cell surface membranes.
Relevance
The two subunits of the s-protein ; S1 and S2 interact with other proteins like the 3a and 7a on the SARS-COV-2. The s-protein has other protein modifications such as the amino acid modification in which there is a disulfide bond, Glycosylation with an N-liked to asparagine of the host cell . There is also a post-translation modification where the Spike glycoprotein is digested within host endosomes.
