Proteolytic activation of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Makoto Takeda

Summary: This review discusses the crucial role of S protein cleavage in coronavirus infection, particularly focusing on SARS-CoV-2. The complexity of the cleavage activation mechanism of the S protein is highlighted, with different cleavage sites and motifs involved. Variants of concern with enhanced infectivity have emerged during the ongoing pandemic, demonstrating the significant impact of changes in S protein cleavability on viral infectivity and virulence.

Loss of furin cleavage site attenuates SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis

Bryan A. Johnson et al.

Summary: The genetic mutation in SARS-CoV-2 resulted in better fitness in some cells but lower replication capacity in human respiratory cell lines. Despite reducing disease symptoms, the Delta PRRA mutant provided protection against rechallenge with the wildtype SARS-CoV-2.

The furin cleavage site in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is required for transmission in ferrets

Thomas P. Peacock et al.

Summary: Efficient transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among infected ferrets is dependent on a functional furin cleavage site in the spike protein. The virus has a selective advantage in lung cells and primary human airway epithelial cells due to a polybasic insertion, but replication may be impaired in certain cell lines.
