Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells

Cody B. Jackson et al.

Summary: The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells is facilitated by the interaction between the viral spike protein and ACE2, leading to virus-cell membrane fusion, which has been extensively studied at the structural and cellular levels worldwide. This understanding has paved the way for the development of effective vaccines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Paeniclostridium sordellii hemorrhagic toxin targets TMPRSS2 to induce colonic epithelial lesions

Xingxing Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the importance of TMPRSS2 and surface fucosylation in the actions of Hemorrhagic toxin (TcsH) produced by Paeniclostridium sordellii was revealed. The authors carried out genome-wide screens and identified cell surface fucosylation and TMPRSS2 as host factors involved in the binding and entry of TcsH. It was found that TMPRSS2 and fucosylated glycans can independently mediate the binding/entry of TcsH, acting as redundant receptors. This study provides insights into the host recognition mechanisms for large clostridial toxins.

Hepsin: a multifunctional transmembrane serine protease in pathobiology

Shuo Li et al.

Summary: Hepsin, a type II transmembrane serine protease highly expressed in the liver, activates prohepatocyte growth factor to regulate metabolism. It also functions in nonhepatic tissues to regulate various physiological processes. Hepsin deficiency results in metabolic abnormalities and increased risk of cancer.

Hemagglutinins of Avian Influenza Viruses Are Proteolytically Activated by TMPRSS2 in Human and Murine Airway Cells

Dorothea Bestle et al.

Summary: The transmembrane protease TMPRSS2 is identified as the major activating protease of various avian influenza virus HA subtypes in human and murine airway cells, suggesting its potential as a target for treatment of human infections with avian influenza viruses. Additionally, a TMPRSS2-orthologous protease from duck is shown to activate avian influenza virus HAs with a monobasic cleavage site, indicating its role as a potential virus-activating protease in waterfowl.

Priming of SARS-CoV-2 S protein by several membrane-bound serine proteinases could explain enhanced viral infectivity and systemic COVID-19 infection

Pablo Fuentes-Prior

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over a million deaths worldwide, and the death toll is expected to rise further before effective treatments and vaccines are available. The causative agent, SARS-CoV2, has significant differences from the previous SARS-CoV-1 and has a higher transmission rate, affecting multiple organs in addition to the lungs. Understanding the role of membrane-associated serine proteinases (MASPs) in the activation of the virus spike protein could potentially help in controlling the pandemic.
