Function

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][1] [2] [3] 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

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to over 750 million infections and 6.8 million deaths worldwide since late 2019. Due to the continuous evolution of SARS-CoV-2, many significant variants have emerged, creating ongoing challenges to the prevention and treatment of the pandemic. Therefore, the study of antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 is essential for the development of vaccines and therapeutics. Here we perform single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure determination of a rabbit monoclonal antibody (RmAb) 9H1 in complex with the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type (WT) spike trimer. Our structural analysis shows that 9H1 interacts with the receptor-binding motif (RBM) region of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) on the spike protein and by directly competing with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), it blocks the binding of the virus to the receptor and achieves neutralization. Our findings suggest that utilizing rabbit-derived mAbs provides valuable insights into the molecular interactions between neutralizing antibodies and spike proteins and may also facilitate the development of therapeutic antibodies and expand the antibody library.
