The spike (S) glycoprotein of coronaviruses contains protrusions that will only bind to certain receptors on the host cell. It has been reported that 2019-nCoV can infect the human Respiratory Epithelial cells through interaction with the human ACE2 receptor. The S protein is a large type I transmembrane protein containing two subunits, S1 and S2. S1 mainly contains a receptor binding domain (RBD), which is responsible for recognizing the cell surface receptor. S2 contains basic elements needed for the membrane fusion. So, S protein has a key role in the induction of neutralizing-antibody and T-cell responses, as well as protective immunity.
Known receptors binding S1 are ACE2, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2; DPP4, Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4; APN, Aminopeptidase N; CEACAM, Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1; Sia, Sialic acid; O-ac Sia, O-acetylated Sialic acid.
The S protein is essential for both host specificity and viral infectivity. The term ‘peplomer’ is typically used to refer to a grouping of heterologous proteins on the virus surface that function together. Besides, the S protein is known to be essential in the binding of the virus to the host cell at the advent of the infection process.
The main functions for the S protein are summarized as:
Mediate receptor binding and membrane fusion; Defines the range of the hosts and specificity of the virus; Main component to bind with the neutralizing antibody; Key target for vaccine design; Can be transmitted between different hosts through gene recombination or mutation of the receptor binding domain (RBD), leading to a higher mortality rate.
 | The activity was measured by the ability to bind immobilized human ACE2-Fc with a linear range of 1-50 ng/ml. |
