Or it was already known, that NRP1 binds [[furin]]-cleaved substrates. The cleavage of the spike protein causes the formation of a C-terminal motif which observes the Cend rule. This motif is responsible for the binding of the virus on the b1 domain of NRP1. Generally NRP receptors facilitate viral entry for several viruses due to their abundance on cells that are exposed to the external environment.Therefore, Neuropilin-1 facilitates the entry of Sars-Cov-2 in the cells.</p>
