Structure genomics of SARS-CoV-2 and its Omicron variant: drug design templates for COVID-19

Can-rong Wu et al.

Summary: The tireless efforts of scientists globally have greatly enhanced our understanding of the biology of coronaviruses, with structural biology playing a key role in uncovering structures and functions of viral proteins and guiding drug and vaccine development. The importance of structure in drug discovery to combat COVID-19 has been highlighted, while attention is needed on the implications of Omicron variants on existing vaccines and antibody therapies.

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.

Structural and functional characterizations of infectivity and immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

Zhen Cui et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly worldwide due to its increased fitness, with spike structures that maintain stability for receptor recognition but compromise viral fusion efficiency. By altering amino acids and structures, it evades recognition by most antibodies, facilitating immune escape. The research sheds light on conserved regions for the development of broad-spectrum vaccines.

Omicron escapes the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies

Yunlong Cao et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 contains 15 mutations in the receptor-binding domain, leading to evasion of over 85% of tested neutralizing antibodies. Different epitope groups of neutralizing antibodies are affected to varying degrees by single mutations of Omicron. Antibodies targeting the conserved region of sarbecovirus remain most effective against Omicron.

Striking antibody evasion manifested by the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2

Lihong Liu et al.

Summary: The B.1.1.529/Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, initially detected in southern Africa, has rapidly spread globally and is expected to become dominant due to its enhanced transmissibility in the coming weeks. This variant poses a threat to the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies due to its significant antibody resistance. Even individuals who have received vaccines and booster doses may have reduced neutralizing activity against B.1.1.529.

Structures of the Omicron spike trimer with ACE2 and an anti-Omicron antibody

Wanchao Yin et al.

Summary: The structures of the Omicron spike trimer and its interactions with ACE2 and an anti-Omicron antibody are reported. Most mutations in Omicron are located on the spike protein surface, altering binding to many existing antibodies. Compensating mutations in the ACE2-binding site enhance binding to ACE2. The therapeutic antibody JMB2002 maintains neutralizing activity against Omicron and inhibits ACE2 binding.

Virological characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 spike

Daichi Yamasoba et al.

Summary: Research has shown that the Omicron lineage BA.1 has been outpaced by a new Omicron lineage, BA.2, which is more transmissible. Immunity induced by COVID vaccines does not effectively protect against BA.2, similar to BA.1, and BA.2 has notable antigenic differences from BA.1. BA.2 spike shows higher replication efficacy and cell fusion capability compared to BA.1 spike. Infection experiments on hamsters indicate that BA.2 spike-bearing virus is more pathogenic than BA.1 spike-bearing virus. Overall, these findings suggest that the risk of BA.2 to global health is potentially higher than that of BA.1.

Summary: There are differences in neutralizing activity of therapeutic antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 sublineages, and immunocompromised individuals treated with antibodies show elevated antibody levels but reduced neutralization against Omicron. Breakthrough infections with the Omicron variant are observed in some immunocompromised individuals despite antibody treatment.

Conformational dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike glycoprotein in complex with receptor ACE2 revealed by cryo-EM

Cong Xu et al.

Summary: The recent global health emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is mediated by the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike glycoprotein and the human ACE2 receptor. The SARS-CoV-2 S trimer is more sensitive to ACE2 receptor compared to SARS-CoV S trimer, potentially contributing to its superior infectivity. Research findings depict the mechanism of ACE2-induced conformational transitions in S trimer structure, aiding in the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and therapeutics.
