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.
