== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SPIKE_SARS2 SPIKE_SARS2] attaches the virion to the cell membrane by interacting with host receptor, initiating the infection (By similarity). Binding to human ACE2 receptor and internalization of the virus into the endosomes of the host cell induces conformational changes in the Spike glycoprotein (PubMed:32142651, PubMed:32075877, PubMed:32155444). Uses also human TMPRSS2 for priming in human lung cells which is an essential step for viral entry (PubMed:32142651). Proteolysis by cathepsin CTSL may unmask the fusion peptide of S2 and activate membranes fusion within endosomes.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099]<ref>PMID:32075877</ref> <ref>PMID:32142651</ref> <ref>PMID:32155444</ref>   mediates fusion of the virion and cellular membranes by acting as a class I viral fusion protein. Under the current model, the protein has at least three conformational states: pre-fusion native state, pre-hairpin intermediate state, and post-fusion hairpin state. During viral and target cell membrane fusion, the coiled coil regions (heptad repeats) assume a trimer-of-hairpins structure, positioning the fusion peptide in close proximity to the C-terminal region of the ectodomain. The formation of this structure appears to drive apposition and subsequent fusion of viral and target cell membranes.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099]  Acts as a viral fusion peptide which is unmasked following S2 cleavage occurring upon virus endocytosis.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04099]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron subvariants have seriously attacked the antibody barrier established by natural infection and/or vaccination, especially the recently emerged BQ.1.1 and XBB.1. However, crucial mechanisms underlying the virus escape and the broad neutralization remain elusive. Here, we present a panoramic analysis of broadly neutralizing activity and binding epitopes of 75 monoclonal antibodies isolated from prototype inactivated vaccinees. Nearly all neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) partly or totally lose their neutralization against BQ.1.1 and XBB.1. We report a broad nAb, VacBB-551, that effectively neutralizes all tested subvariants including BA.2.75, BQ.1.1, and XBB.1. We determine the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of VacBB-551 complexed with the BA.2 spike and perform detailed functional verification to reveal the molecular basis of N460K and F486V/S mutations mediating the partial escape of BA.2.75, BQ.1.1, and XBB.1 from the neutralization of VacBB-551. Overall, BQ.1.1 and XBB.1 raised the alarm over SARS-CoV-2 evolution with unprecedented antibody evasion from broad nAbs elicited by prototype vaccination.

Omicron BQ.1.1 and XBB.1 unprecedentedly escape broadly neutralizing antibodies elicited by prototype vaccination.,Ju B, Fan Q, Liu C, Shen S, Wang M, Guo H, Zhou B, Ge X, Zhang Z Cell Rep. 2023 Jun 27;42(6):112532. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112532.
