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.

Binding Interactions between Receptor-Binding Domain of Spike Protein and Human Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2 in Omicron Variant

Bahaa Jawad et al.

Summary: The emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has worsened the COVID-19 pandemic due to its large number of mutations, particularly in the receptor-binding domain (RBD), making it highly contagious and/or resistant to vaccines. Through molecular dynamics simulations, it has been found that the Omicron variant's RBD binds to ACE2 more efficiently and tightly, resulting in increased infectivity and transmissibility compared to other strains. Some of the RBD mutations have been predicted to affect antibody neutralization either through conformational changes in the spike protein or by altering its surface charge distribution. Other mutations either decrease or increase ACE2 binding.

Summary: The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein in the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 increases the virus's infectivity and cell-to-cell fusion. However, the combination of NTD from the Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants does not show enhanced effects. This suggests that the NTD modulates the spike protein's functions in a context-dependent manner.
