Mutations on RBD of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant result in stronger binding to human ACE2 receptor

Cecylia S. Lupala et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus has resulted in over 270 million infections and 5.3 million deaths worldwide. The emergence of the Omicron variant has raised concerns about reducing vaccine efficacy and neutralizing antibodies due to its numerous mutations. Analysis indicates that the Omicron variant binds more strongly to the human ACE2 protein, with mutations at the ACE2-RBD interface enhancing tight binding through increased hydrogen bonding interactions and enlarged buried solvent accessible surface area.

Emerging mutation patterns in SARS-CoV-2 variants

David A. Ostrov et al.

Summary: It is urgent to understand the functional effects of mutations in emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2. Variants of concern and emerging variants of interest exhibit four patterns of spike glycoprotein mutations that enhance transmissibility and immune evasion. These defined patterns provide a basis for the development of next line antiviral drugs and vaccine candidates.

Evolution of enhanced innate immune evasion by SARS-CoV-2

Lucy G. Thorne et al.

Summary: The Alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2 effectively suppresses innate immune responses in airway epithelial cells compared to first-wave isolates, possibly due to increased expression of specific viral antagonist proteins. This enhanced innate immune suppression may increase the likelihood of successful transmission of the Alpha variant and potentially impact in vivo replication and infection duration. Mutations outside the spike coding region, such as those observed in the N and Orf9b regulatory regions, play a crucial role in the adaptation of SARS-CoV-2 variants to humans.

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.

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: This study reports that the P681R mutation in the Delta spike plays a crucial role in the replacement of the Alpha variant by the Delta variant during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Delta variant outcompetes the Alpha variant in human lung cells and airway tissues. The P681R mutation enhances the cleavage of the spike protein, leading to increased replication of the Delta variant.

Metalloproteinase-Dependent and TMPRSS2-Independent Cell Surface Entry Pathway of SARS-CoV-2 Requires the Furin Cleavage Site and the S2 Domain of Spike Protein

Mizuki Yamamoto et al.

Summary: The study found that the cell surface entry pathway of SARS-CoV-2 includes a metalloproteinase-mediated pathway in addition to the TMPRSS2 and endosomal pathways. The metalloproteinase-mediated pathway requires prior cleavage of the spike protein into two domains, a condition met by SARS-CoV-2 but not by the related human coronavirus SARS-CoV. Additionally, inhibiting metalloproteins was crucial in preventing cell death, which may lead to organ damage. The findings provide new insights into the unique pathogenesis of COVID-19 and are relevant to the development of effective therapies.

SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants display enhanced Spike-mediated syncytia formation

Maaran Michael Rajah et al.

Summary: Severe cases of COVID-19 are associated with lung abnormalities, notably the presence of syncytial pneumocytes. New variants of the virus, such as Alpha and Beta, have shown an increased ability to form larger and more numerous syncytia compared to the ancestral strain D614G. The spike proteins of these variants also display higher affinity for the ACE2 receptor and can be inhibited by interferon-induced transmembrane proteins. Individual mutations in the spike proteins affect fusogenicity, ACE2 binding, and recognition by monoclonal antibodies. Additionally, the Delta variant spike protein has been found to trigger faster fusion than the D614G strain, indicating an enhanced syncytia formation capability in emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Summary: Genomic epidemiology analysis revealed multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 into Scotland from mainland Europe, especially Italy and Spain, during the first wave of COVID-19. Early introductions led to community outbreaks, healthcare facility transmission, and an outbreak at an international conference. Earlier implementation of travel restrictions and quarantine measures could have reduced the number of COVID-19 cases in Scotland.

The Polybasic Cleavage Site in SARS-CoV-2 Spike Modulates Viral Sensitivity to Type I Interferon and IFITM2

Helena Winstone et al.

Summary: The presence of a polybasic cleavage site in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 allows the virus to enter cells in a pH-independent manner, mitigating against IFITM-mediated restriction and promoting replication and transmission. Targeted depletion of IFITM2 expression alleviates potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication by type I IFNs. Therapeutic strategies targeting furin-mediated cleavage of the spike protein may reduce viral replication through the activity of type I IFNs.

Neutralization potency of monoclonal antibodies recognizing dominant and subdominant epitopes on SARS-CoV-2 Spike is impacted by the B.1.1.7 variant

Summary: The interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 Spike receptor binding domain (RBD) and the host cell receptor ACE2 is crucial for viral entry, with RBD being the main target for neutralizing antibodies. Mutations in RBD, N-terminal domain (NTD), and S2 subunits of Spike have been found in circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. This study isolates and characterizes monoclonal antibodies targeting different epitopes on RBD, NTD, and S2 to understand how these mutations affect antigenicity and neutralization resistance.

Cytoplasmic Tail Truncation of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Enhances Titer of Pseudotyped Vectors but Masks the Effect of the D614G Mutation

Hsu-Yu Chen et al.

Summary: The high pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 requires handling under biosafety level 3 conditions. Spike protein-pseudotyped vectors are useful for studying viral entry and inhibition, with methods to increase titer commonly including ultracentrifugation and Spike protein tail truncation. Studies showed that truncating the Spike tail increased incorporation into vectors and enhanced titers without impacting sensitivity to neutralization, while the D614G mutation independently increased incorporation and titers but was masked by the truncation. Use of full-length Spike protein with tangential flow filtration is recommended for generating high titer pseudotyped vectors retaining native Spike protein functions.

Summary: Adaptive changes in the coronavirus spike proteins, especially in the N-terminal domains, can increase SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-mediated membrane fusion and cell entry, leading to amplified virus-cell binding. However, these changes may also reduce interdomain associations, making spike proteins susceptible to irreversible inactivation on virus-like particles.
