Receptor binding and complex structures of human ACE2 to spike RBD from omicron and delta SARS-CoV-2

Pengcheng Han et al.

Summary: The study found that the omicron variant, unlike other variants, has a similar affinity to the human receptor ACE2 as the prototype variant. Multiple mutations in the omicron variant may compensate for both immune escape and transmissibility. The complex structures of the omicron and delta variants binding to ACE2 provide insights into how specific mutations affect the binding.

Omicron Variant (B.1.1.529): Infectivity, Vaccine Breakthrough, and Antibody Resistance

Jiahui Chen et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused global panic due to its high infectivity and ability to escape vaccines. A comprehensive analysis using an artificial intelligence model and antibody structure analysis reveals that Omicron may be over 10 times more contagious than the original virus and has an 88% likelihood of vaccine escape. This study highlights the importance of developing mutation-proof vaccines and antibodies.

Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness

Jessica A. Plante et al.

Summary: The D614G substitution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enhances viral replication and infectivity in human lung epithelial cells, primary airway tissues, and hamsters. This variant may increase transmission in the upper respiratory tract and doesn't seem to significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. Further research on therapeutic antibodies targeting the circulating G614 virus is recommended.

Evaluating the Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Mutation D614G on Transmissibility and Pathogenicity

Erik Volz et al.

Summary: The study suggests a positive selection for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G in the UK, but no evidence of differences in COVID-19 mortality or clinical severity in patients infected with this variant. 614G is associated with higher viral load and younger age of patients compared to 614D.

The role of Neuropilin-1 in COVID-19

Bindu S. Mayi et al.

Summary: NRP-1, a member of a family of signaling proteins, plays a critical role in SARS-CoV-2 infection and may be involved in immune function, transmission pathways, and disease severity. Research suggests NRP-1 could serve as a therapeutic target in SARS-CoV-2 infections, highlighting the need for further study.

Resistance of SARS-CoV-2 variants to neutralization by monoclonal and serum-derived polyclonal antibodies

Rita E. Chen et al.

Summary: The study analyzed antibody neutralization activity against a panel of authentic isolates and chimeric SARS-CoV-2 variants, showing significantly reduced neutralizing activity against the B.1.351 variant first identified in South Africa. Antibodies targeting the receptor-binding domain and N-terminal domain, monoclonal antibodies, convalescent sera, and mRNA vaccine-induced immune sera exhibited decreased inhibitory activity against viruses with an E484K spike mutation, suggesting a need for updated monoclonal antibodies or vaccine adjustments to prevent loss of protection against emerging variants.

Key-Hwan Lim et al.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that NRP1 may be upregulated in AD patients and play a role in SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, with NRP1 commonly overexpressed in AD models and strongly expressed in AD brain tissues. Understanding the role of NRP1 in AD may help predict its involvement in SARS-CoV-2 infection in AD patients.

Sarvenaz Sarabipour et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had a significant impact on global health, with research on viral mechanisms, vaccines, and therapies ongoing. Neuropilins have been identified as host cell receptors enabling viral fusion, but their central roles in various pathways may make them less suitable targets for treating SARS-CoV-2 compared to agents that target the viral spike protein.
