Occurrence of a substitution or deletion of SARS-CoV-2 spike amino acid 677 in various lineages in Marseille, France

Philippe Colson et al.

Summary: Over the past six months, there have been great concerns about SARS-CoV-2 variants, with spike substitutions Q677H/P being identified in different lineages. Some genomes also showed a deletion of the Q677 amino acid. These variants were classified into different Pangolin lineages, indicating convergent evolution.

Engineering SARS-CoV-2 using a reverse genetic system

Xuping Xie et al.

Summary: Reverse genetic system for SARS-CoV-2 is essential for studying viruses, developing vaccines, and screening antiviral drugs. However, manipulating the system is complex due to the large size of the coronavirus genome and toxic genomic elements, requiring a meticulous six-step process. Mastering this system will accelerate COVID-19 research across different scientific fields.

Tiled-ClickSeq for targeted sequencing of complete coronavirus genomes with simultaneous capture of RNA recombination and minority variants

Elizabeth Jaworski et al.

Summary: The Tiled-ClickSeq method utilizes hundreds of tiled primers along the virus genome to generate cDNA fragments, providing complete genome coverage without the constraints of paired-primer approaches. This approach allows for simultaneous characterization of multiple RNA variants when studying various SARS-CoV-2 isolates and clinical samples.

Site-Specific Glycosylation Patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Derived From Recombinant Protein and Viral WA1 and D614G Strains

Yuan Tian et al.

Summary: The study characterized the glycosylation patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and found differences in glycosylation profiles among proteins derived from different cell sources. This suggests that the choice of cell substrate for protein production can impact host-pathogen interactions mediated by spike glycans.

The SARS-CoV-2 Transcriptome and the Dynamics of the S Gene Furin Cleavage Site in Primary Human Airway Epithelia

Wei Zou et al.

Summary: The spike polypeptide of SARS-CoV-2 undergoes mutations in the FCS region during infection, with deletions occurring in Vero cells. Human airway epithelia play a unique role in stabilizing the FCS region during virus infection, although donor-dependent differences in FCS deletion rates were observed.

The SARS-CoV-2 and other human coronavirus spike proteins are fine-tuned towards temperature and proteases of the human airways

Manon Laporte et al.

Summary: The high transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 is related to the virus's abundant replication in the upper airways, which differs from other highly pathogenic coronaviruses. The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 exhibits intrinsic temperature preference, optimizing the virus for the human respiratory tract and enhancing its transmission. Additionally, certain proteases in the human airways play a key role in activating the spike protein for virus entry, further increasing SARS-CoV-2's ability to spread.

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.
