The S1 and S2 subunits of the spike glycoprotein of the coronavirus which is responsible for the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have been modelled, even though the corresponding amino acid sequences were not suitable for tertiary structure predictions with conventional homology and/or threading procedures. An indirect search for a protein structure to be used as a template for 3D modelling has been performed on the basis of the genomic organisation similarity generally exhibited by coronaviruses. The crystal structure of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxi n B appeared to be structurally adaptable to human and canine coronavirus spike protein sequences and it was successfully used to model the two subunits of SARS coronavirus spike glycoprotein. The overall shape and the surface hydrophobicity of the two subunits in the obtained models suggest the localisation of the most relevant regions for their activity. © 2003 Elsevier Inc.

In this article, we investigate the binding processes of a fragment of the coronavirus spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD), the hexapeptide YKYRYL on the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, and its inhibitory effect on the binding and activation of the coronavirus-2 spike protein CoV-2 RBD at ACE2. In agreement with an experimental study, we find a high affinity of the hexapeptide to the binding interface between CoV-2 RBD and ACE2, which we investigate using 20 independent equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations over a total of 1 μs and a 200-ns enhanced correlation guided MD simulation. We then evaluate the effect of the hexapeptide on the assembly process of the CoV-2 RBD to ACE2 in long-time enhanced correlation guided MD simulations. In that set of simulations, we find that CoV-2 RBD does not bind to ACE2 with the binding motif shown in experiments, but it rotates because of an electrostatic repulsion and forms a hydrophobic interface with ACE2. Surprisingly, ...

In the original coronavirus, the spike proteins would bind to the ACE2 receptor and then dramatically change shape, folding in on themselves.. This enabled the virus to fuse its membrane with our own cells membranes and get inside. However, as Chen and colleagues reported in July 2020, the spikes would sometimes prematurely change shape and fall apart before the virus could bind to cells.. While this slowed the virus down, the shape change also made it harder for our immune system to contain the virus.. Because the original spike protein would dissociate, it was not good enough to induce a strong neutralizing antibody response, says Chen.. When Chen and colleagues imaged the mutant spike protein, they found that the D614G mutation stabilizes the spike by blocking the premature shape change.. Interestingly, the mutation also makes the spikes bind more weakly to the ACE receptor, but the fact that the spikes are less apt to fall apart prematurely renders the virus overall more ...

iStock). The spike protein is the focus of so much research at the minute, said co-lead author Donald Benton, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Francis Crick Institute's Structural Biology of Disease Processes Laboratory in the United Kingdom. Understanding how it functions is very important because it's the target of most of the vaccination attempts and a lot of diagnostic work as well.. To understand the process of infection, Benton and his team mixed human ACE2 proteins with spike proteins in the lab. They then used a very cold liquid ethane to rapidly freeze the proteins such that they became suspended in a special form of ice, Benton told Live Science. They then put these samples under a cryo-electron microscope and obtained tens of thousands of high-resolution images of the spike proteins frozen at different stages of binding to the ACE2 receptors.. CORONAVIRUS WAS EVEN MORE CONTAGIOUS AT BEGINNING OF PANDEMIC THAN EXPERTS THOUGHT, STUDY FINDS. They found that the spike ...

Everyone has to weigh the evidence and decide for themselves. Im almost 66 and definitely not getting any COVID-19 vaccines. If you were to catch SARS-CoV-2, there are therapeutics that easily treat, cure, and prevent the disease. And they are totally tried and tested for half a century with the least side-effects of any drug on the market. Death is not one of their side-effects but over 4,000 people have died in the last 4 months getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Thats more deaths in 4 months from one vaccine than the total number of deaths from ALL vaccines for the last 20 years! No one is dying from catching the virus anymore so it seems clear which approach is the most risky. The vaccine does not make you immune to the virus; it only lessens symptoms when you do get it. Not much of a benefit especially considering the number of problems being reported on the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Also, if you check out our latest Wellness Support Group Webinar on our website ...

Coronavirus gain-of-function research existed for the sole purpose of vaccine development. When SARS-CoV-2 escaped containment, vaccine developers were already prepared to complete a live vaccine experiment using genetic code from the coronavirus spike protein. This genetic code of the spike protein is transcribed via mRNA or an adenovirus-vector, forcing human cells to churn out properties of the bio-weapon. These experimental vaccines have a poor history of safety and effectiveness, but were ready to be deployed as soon as the pandemic was declared. In the months after the initial lockdowns, effective treatment protocols and natural immunity strategies were blacklisted, and doctors who had 100 percent treatment success were censored. This blackout paved the way for emergency use authorization for the vaccines, enabling the coronavirus gain-of-function research to go through its next phase.. Vaccine research via gain-of-function virus engineering leads to the accidental or intentional release ...

The three-dimensional hybrid structures of coronavirus spike proteins including the C-terminal sequence and receptor binding motif (RBM) was remodeled and energy minimized. Further, protein-protein docking show that Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV 2 Lys^(457)-Pro^(490) bind on the surface of ACE2 receptor near N-terminal helices to form host-pathogen attachment. In this binding interface, SARS-CoV 2 shows a tight network of hydrogen bonds than other spike proteins from BtRsRaTG13-CoV ...

As the SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV S2 subunits share 88% sequence identity, they are structurally conserved and can be superimposed with 1.2A root-mean-square (rmsd) over 417 aligned Cα positions. Only the most N-terminal part of the fusion peptide is resolved in the map, as was the case for previously determined SARS-CoV S structures.

multidose vials containing 0.45 mL suspension for dilution. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the COVID‑19 outbreak was a pandemic. Since then, there have been over 111 million confirmed cases worldwide and over 2.4 million deaths resulting from SARS‑CoV‑2 viral infection (WHO COVID‑19 dashboard).1 In response, hundreds of vaccines are being rapidly developed in an effort to prevent further disease.2. The BNT162b2 COVID‑19 vaccine was the first to be given provisional approval in Australia and is indicated for those aged 16 years and over. It is made up of single‑stranded messenger RNA (mRNA) which encodes the viral spike protein of the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus. The RNA is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles which allows uptake by antigen‑presenting cells (e.g. dendritic cells). Once inside, the mRNA is translated into the spike protein by host‑cell machinery and presented on the cell surface. These antigen‑presenting cells then show the spike protein to ...

The investigation suggested that coronaviruses use conformational masking and glycan shielding to limit recognition by the immune response of infected hosts. Similarly to SARS-CoV S and MERS-CoV, the investigation found that the SARS-CoV-2 S trimer exists in multiple, distinct conformational states resulting from SB opening at the trimer apex. These structural changes are necessary…

NVX-CoV2373 is a vaccine candidate engineered from the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. NVX-CoV2373 was created using Novavax recombinant nanoparticle technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike (S) protein and contains Novavax patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein antigens and cannot replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19. In preclinical trials, NVX-CoV2373 demonstrated indication of antibodies that block binding of spike protein to receptors targeted by the virus, a critical aspect for effective vaccine protection. In its the Phase 1 portion of its Phase 1/2 clinical trial, NVX-CoV2373 was generally well-tolerated and elicited robust antibody responses numerically superior to that seen in human convalescent sera. NVX-CoV2373 is also being evaluated in a Phase 3 trial in the UK and two ongoing Phase 2 ...

The above studies evaluate CP through quantitative analysis of IgG responses to the SARS-CoV-2 S1 spike protein. A comprehensive accounting of human antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 would include all potential virally encoded proteins. SARS-CoV-2 encodes numerous proteins capable of stimulating antibody responses (12). The best known of these SARS-CoV-2 proteins is the trimeric spike (S) glycoprotein that adorns the extracellular surface of the virion, which has two subunits (S1+S2) and a receptor binding domain (RBD). The RBD interacts with the human ACE2 receptor to effect viral entry into host cells (13). SARS-CoV-2 also encodes a number of other proteins, including ORF6 to ORF10, with unclear functions. Some of these ORFs may facilitate host immune evasion. The multidomain structure of larger proteins, such as the spike protein, presents numerous epitopes to which antibody responses may develop. The accessibility of these different antigens to antibodies varies substantially in intact, ...

A Nature study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can adopt at least 10 sequential structural conformations when in contact with the ACE2 receptor.

ENV is trimer consisting of three glycoproteins with a molecular weight of 160K. This trimer is split into a 120K surface component and a 41K membrane component. Together they constitute a moiety that facilitates the entry of the virus into the host cell called the viral spike. Although the components of the viral spike have long been considered candidates for a vaccine, it has been elusive. In addition, the viral genes for these components have been discovered and used in vaccine production; this approach has also been shown to be unsatisfactory. The reason for this failure seems to reside in the fact that many of the regions of the molecular structure of the ENV subunits that are candidates for eliciting a significant immune response lie buried in areas that are effectively hidden from immune-surveillance ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Two palmitylated cysteine residues of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus spike (S) protein are critical for S incorporation into virus-like particles, but not for M-S co-localization. AU - Ujike, Makoto. AU - Huang, Cheng. AU - Shirato, Kazuya. AU - Matsuyama, Shutoku. AU - Makino, Shinji. AU - Taguchi, Fumihiro. PY - 2012/4. Y1 - 2012/4. N2 - The endodomain of several coronavirus (CoV) spike (S) proteins contains palmitylated cysteine residues and enables co-localization and interaction with the CoV membrane (M) protein. Depalmitylation of mouse hepatitis virus S proteins abolished this interaction, resulting in the failure of S incorporation into virions. In contrast, an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) showed that depalmitylated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SCoV) S proteins still co-localized with the M protein in the budding site. Here, we determined the ability of depalmitylated SCoV S mutants to incorporate S into virus-like particles (VLPs). ...

Selecting from regions of the S protein of SARS CoV that are predicted to potentially present antigenic determinants, a small region (S-II) comprising residues 485 to 625 was expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli. After proper refolding, the solubilized S-II fragment was shown to specifically bind the surface of Vero cells by FACS analysis. This suggests that antibodies against this region could give rise to neutralizing activities. A panel of MAbs was raised with the recombinant S-II protein. A series of tests showed that the MAbs could recognize the native S protein, block the attachment of S-II to Vero cells, and neutralize SARS CoV infection in cell culture.. Virus entry involves attachment of the S1 region to the host receptor and exposure of the fusion peptide that results from the conformational change induced by the interaction of the S1 region with the receptor. However, studies with HCoV 229E, MHV, and TGEV further defined polypeptide regions that can bind the host receptor. A ...

The fusogenic potential of Class I viral envelope glycoproteins is activated by proteloytic cleavage of the precursor glycoprotein to generate the mature receptor-binding and transmembrane fusion subunits. Although the coronavirus (CoV) S glycoproteins share membership in this class of envelope glycoproteins, cleavage to generate the respective S1 and S2 subunits appears absent in a subset of CoV species, including that responsible for the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). To determine whether proteolytic cleavage of the S glycoprotein might be important for the newly emerged SARS-CoV, we introduced a furin recognition site at single basic residues within the putative S1-S2 junctional region. We show that furin cleavage at the modified R667 position generates discrete S1 and S2 subunits and potentiates membrane fusion activity. This effect on the cell-cell fusion activity by the S glycoprotein is not, however, reflected in the infectivity of pseudotyped lentiviruses bearing the cleaved ...

The tremendous pandemic potential of coronaviruses was demonstrated twice in the last 15 years by two global outbreaks of deadly pneumonia. Entry of coronaviruses into cells is mediated by the transmembrane spike glycoprotein S, which forms a trimer carrying receptor-binding and membrane fusion functions. Despite their biomedical importance, coronavirus S glycoproteins have proven difficult targets for structural characterization, precluding high-resolution studies of the biologically relevant trimer. Recent technological developments in single particle cryo-electron microscopy allowed us to determine the first structure of a coronavirus S glycoprotein trimer which provided a framework to understand the mechanisms of viral entry and suggested potential inhibition strategies for this family of viruses. Here, we describe the key factors that enabled this breakthrough.. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27667334 ...

Coronaviruses are enveloped positive-stranded RNA viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm. To deliver their nucleocapsid into the host cell, they rely on the fusion of their envelope with the host cell membrane. The spike glycoprotein (S) mediates virus entry and is a primary determinant of cell tropism and pathogenesis. It is classified as a class I fusion protein, and is responsible for binding to the receptor on the host cell as well as mediating the fusion of host and viral membranes-A process driven by major conformational changes of the S protein. This review discusses coronavirus entry mechanisms focusing on the different triggers used by coronaviruses to initiate the conformational change of the S protein: receptor binding, low pH exposure and proteolytic activation. We also highlight commonalities between coronavirus S proteins and other class I viral fusion proteins, as well as distinctive features that confer distinct tropism, pathogenicity and host interspecies transmission characteristics

For detecting the Coronavirus as well as for developing vaccines against it the virus specific proteins are promising targets for scientists. Here we will describe some of the most important Coronavirus proteins:. SARS-CoV Spike Protein. The coronavirus spike contains three segments: a large ectodomain, a single-pass transmembrane anchor and a short intracellular tail. The ectodomain consists of a receptor-binding subunit S1 and a membrane-fusion subunit S2. During virus entry, S1 binds to a receptor on the host cell surface for viral attachment, and S2 fuses the host and viral membranes, allowing viral genomes to enter host cells.. SARS-CoV Nucleocapsid Protein. Of all the coronaviral structural proteins, the N protein is the most abundant throughout infection, both in mRNA and protein levels. Compared to the mRNA levels of other structural genes, the mRNA of the N protein is expressed three to ten times higher at 12-hour post-infection.. SARS-CoV Envelope Protein. The Envelope (E) protein is ...

3SCK: Crystal structure of spike protein receptor-binding domain from a predicted SARS coronavirus civet strain complexed with human-civet chimeric receptor ACE2

Description: Design a binder against coronavirus! Were challenging players to design an antiviral protein that could bind to the 2019 coronavirus spike protein and disrupt viral infection. The starting structure is a solution designed by spvincent in our previous Round 2 puzzle. This solution makes an excellent interface with the target, but were concerned that the binder may not fold properly. Our predictions suggest that the two sheets in this solution will not fold up as designed. Were asking Foldit players to try and improve this design so that it folds up correctly and can bind to the target! Players also have freedom to redesign an entirely new solution from scratch.. In late 2019, a new highly-infections virus emerged out of Wuhan, China. This virus belongs to the coronavirus family, and is similar to the virus that caused the SARS epidemic in 2002. Coronaviruses display a spike protein on their surface, which binds tightly to a receptor protein found on the surface of human cells. ...

This tutorial explains the structure of the spike protein, accompanied by interactive animations of structures determined by cryo-electron microscopy. The furin cleavage site and receptor binding sites are marked. Animations ready for Powerpoint slides are provided. The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 is caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2. In the electron microscope, it looks like a crown because it has protein spikes sticking out. The virus enters and infects cells after its spike protein binds to the ACE2 receptor on cells in the lung or elsewhere. The first step in this binding is priming, when a protein-cutting enzyme such as furin clips the spike protein. This causes it to stick out its receptor-binding domain, making binding to ACE2 more efficient. Relevant research journal publications are cited. ...

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is the reason of the current global health crisis. The development of effective antiviral compounds and vaccines requires detailed descriptive studies of SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein mediates virion binding to human cells through its interaction with the cell surface receptor ACE2 and is one of the major immunization targets. The functional virion consists of three S1 and three S2 subunits formed by the furin cleavage of the spike protein at R682, a polybasic cleavage site that differs from the animal version of the protein as well as from the SARS-CoV spike protein 2002. We analyzed the glycoprotein using our newly developed methodology based on low-energy fragmentation and cyclic ion mobility. Our analysis confirms the O-glycosylation of the spike protein on a threonine (T678) located near the furin cleavage site. This site is occupied by core-1 and core-2 structures. Two other predicted O-glycosites are unoccupied. We identified ...

Pierre Little. What leads you to believe that the spike protein will remain in the cell vs. expressed into the surrounding tissue by which not only antibody response will be built up (a good thing) but also attack by NK cells (another aspect of the immune system) and thus pro-thrombotic, pro-inflammatory aftereffects?. From what I understand, its not entirely clear where vaccine-induced spike proteins will show up because that would require tissue biopsies that were not done in human subjects. But there are clues provided by COVID-19 infection itself - and the implications are disturbing apart from the usual antivaxxer suspects. See: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2020-N-1898-0246. The mRNA vaccination process hijacks the cell to encode these proteins so were not talking a limited number taken up by the vaccine itself after which no more are produced by the body.

In an article entitled, The novel coronavirus spike protein plays additional key role in illness, published on April 30th, 2021, the Salk Institute warns that, Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease.. From that article:. Now, a major new study shows that the virus spike proteins (which behave very differently than those safely encoded by vaccines) also play a key role in the disease itself.. The paper, published on April 30, 2021, in Circulation Research, also shows conclusively that COVID-19 is a vascular disease, demonstrating exactly how the SARS-CoV-2 virus damages and attacks the vascular system on a cellular level.. A lot of people think of it as a respiratory disease, but its really a vascular disease, says Assistant Research Professor Uri Manor, who is co-senior author of the study. That could explain why some people have strokes, and why some people have issues in other parts of the body. The ...

The present study focuses on the role of human miRNAs in SARS-CoV-2 infection. An extensive analysis of human miRNA binding sites on the viral genome led to the identification of miR-1207-5p as potential regulator of the viral Spike protein. It is known that exogenous RNA can compete for miRNA targets of endogenous mRNAs leading to their overexpression. Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 virus can act as an exogenous competing RNA, facilitating the over-expression of its endogenous targets. Transcriptomic analysis of human alveolar and bronchial epithelial cells confirmed that the CSF1 gene, a known target of miR-1207-5p, is over-expressed following SARS-CoV-2 infection. CSF1 enhances macrophage recruitment and activation and its overexpression may contribute to the acute inflammatory response observed in severe COVID-19. In summary, our results indicate that dysregulation of miR-1207-5p-target genes during SARS-CoV-2 infection may contribute to uncontrolled inflammation in most severe COVID-19 cases.

Almost everybody must have heard that the name is derived from the characteristic form of the spike proteins. Coronaviruses, first discovered in 1966 by June Almeida, are an extensive virus family. They are characterized by having their genetic information stored as RNA, which is very large in comparison. It is also very stable, because corona virus have an included mechanism against mutations. Apart from the club-shaped spike protein, a lipid bi-layer membrane is very typical for this group. This detail also makes them especially susceptible for fat-dissolving agents, like soap when washing hands.. The Coronaviruses differ in their composition, especially the spike protein responsible for docking onto cells. Virologists however classify them by their genetic code, which reveals relationships. Within the actual corona viruses (Orthocoronavirinae), there are 4 genera (and maybe soon 5, as research is accelerated). One of them is the Alphacoronaviruses, with 13 subgenera, one of which contains the ...

Researchers from Northwestern University have identified a new vulnerability in the SARS-CoV-2s spike protein, illuminating a relatively simple, potential treatment pathway. The spike protein contains the virus binding site which adheres to host cells and enables the virus to enter and infect the body. The researchers discovered a site on SARS-CoV-2 that affects binding to human host cells.. Using nanometer-level simulations, the researchers discovered a positively charged site, known as the polybasic cleavage site, located 10 nanometers from the actual binding site on the spike protein. The positively charged site allows strong bonding between the virus protein and the negatively charged human-cell receptors. The researchers then designed a negatively charged molecule to bind to the positively charged cleavage site. Blocking this site inhibits the virus from bonding to the host cell.. Made up of amino acids, the novel coronaviruss polybasic cleavage sites have remained elusive since the ...
