LRRC15 mediates an accessory interaction with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Jarrod Shilts et al.

Summary: In addition to ACE2, LRRC15 has been identified as a protein that interacts with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The expression of LRRC15 is common in human lung vasculature cells and fibroblasts. Inflammatory signals greatly increase the levels of LRRC15 in the lungs of COVID-19 patients. Although LRRC15 alone is not sufficient for viral entry, it may modulate infection of human cells. Further investigation is needed to understand how SARS-CoV-2 exploits host LRRC15 and its role in COVID-19.

Evidence for multiple binding modes in the initial contact between SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 protein and cell surface glycans

Michela Parafioriti et al.

Summary: The infection of host cells by SARS-CoV-2 involves the recognition of cell surface heparan sulfate by the virus spike protein, leading to viral-cell membrane fusion. Ligand-based NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics were used to investigate the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and heparan sulfate, revealing different binding modes and potential binding sites. This study suggests that diverse heparan sulfate structures may be more effective as inhibitors.

Exploiting LRRC15 as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Cancer

Upasana Ray et al.

Summary: Abundant fibrotic stroma is a common feature in solid tumors, and targeting the tumor stroma, including the overexpressed LRRC15 protein, has become a promising therapeutic strategy. Effective LRRC15-targeted therapy may improve outcomes for patients with LRRC15-positive tumors, offering personalized clinical benefits and predictive biomarkers for preclinical assessment.

Multi-omics identify falling LRRC15 as a COVID-19 severity marker and persistent pro-thrombotic signals in convalescence

Jack S. Gisby et al.

Summary: This study collected blood samples from COVID-19 patients with end-stage kidney disease and performed proteomic and transcriptomic analysis to identify features associated with COVID-19 severity. The results suggest that the plasma proteome is a superior indicator of clinical severity compared to the PBMC transcriptome, and the decreasing trajectory of plasma LRRC15 may be associated with a more severe clinical course. Dysregulated gene expression related to vascular, platelet, and coagulation pathways was still observed in patients two months after the acute infection.

LRRC15 inhibits SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry in trans

Jaewon Song et al.

Summary: LRRC15 is identified as an inhibitory attachment factor for SARS-CoV-2 entry, which directly binds to the receptor-binding domain of spike protein and inhibits viral entry. It is mainly expressed in fibroblasts, particularly in pathological fibroblasts in COVID-19 patients. Expression of LRRC15 in ACE2-negative cells blocks spike-mediated viral entry in ACE2+ cells, suggesting a protective role of LRRC15 in a physiological context.

Summary: A study identified three novel sarbecovirus sequences from Rwanda and Uganda that are phylogenetically intermediate to SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 and unable to utilize human ACE2. The study proposed a recombination scenario to explain the observed ACE2 usage pattern among sarbecoviruses, pointing out the need for increased surveillance for sarbecoviruses in regions like southwestern China and Africa.
