Different residues in the SARS-CoV spike protein determine cleavage and activation by the host cell protease TMPRSS2.

Different residues in the SARS-CoV spike protein determine cleavage and activation by the host cell protease TMPRSS2.

The spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) mediates viral entry into target cells. Cleavage and activation of SARS S by a host cell protease is essential for infectious viral entry and the responsible enzymes are potential targets for antiviral intervention. Th...
