The spike (S) glycoprotein of coronaviruses is essential for binding of the virus to the host cell at the beginning of the infection process. The target protein is also a major immunogen and a possible target for entry inhibitors.
The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein is a large type I transmembrane protein composed of two subunits, S1 and S2. The S1 subunit contains a receptor-binding domain (RBD) responsible for binding to the host cell receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Several mutants of the spike protein are known. A new SARS-CoV-2 lineage called B.1.617, exhibits 13 mutations. Compared to the previously circulating variants, the mutations L452R and E484Q of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 (RBD) may cause a stronger affinity of the spike protein to hACE2 and also conferring an increasing ability to evade the hosts’ immune system.
