SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein

The SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein stands out as unique. Similarity between SARS-CoV-2 with coronaviruses found in common hosts largely disappears in the spike protein portion of the genome, which is suggestive of a radical divergence from nature (genetic engineering).1)

Cellular Interaction

Receptor Binding Domain

Toxins

Research report finding toxin-like peptides similar to those in animal venom (conotoxins, phospholipsases, phosphodiesterases, zinc metal proteinases, and bradykinins) were found in fecal samples from COVID-19 patients, but not in control patients.2)

Could Small Neurotoxins-Peptides be Expressed during SARS-CoV-2 Infection?3)

Potential Pathological Mechanisms of Anti-Spike Antibodies

  • The Spike Protein As a Pore-Forming Toxin4)

Blood Clotting

  • SARS-CoV-2 spike protein induces abnormal inflammatory blood clots neutralized by fibrin immunotherapy5)

Mechanism

While conspiracy theorists have debated the presence of graphene oxide and biotechnology in COVID-19 vaccines, Walter Chestnut proposed amyloidosis as the source of the fibrils.6) His observations are given support by Biologist Jessica Rose who notes these would also be delivered by the quasi-vaccines.7)

Cancer Pathway

There is evidence that the S2 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 interacts with P53, the tumor suppressor protein whose pathway is associated with most or all human cancer, and BRCA, in an in silico study.8)

Neurological Effects

Scientists have observed cognitive deficits and anxiety in mouse models when the spike protein S1 subunit was delivered to the hippocampus.9)

Pathogenic Antibodies

  • Pathogenic antibodies induced by spike proteins of COVID-19 and SARS-CoV viruses10)

Genetic Damage

  • SARS-CoV-2 Spike Impairs DNA Damage Repair and Inhibits V(D)J Recombination In Vitro11)

Prion-Like Diseases

Researchers have noted extended amino acid sequences in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 that are noted to play a causal role in protein misfolding related to a large and growing number of neurodegenerative diseases.12)

Patents

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) holds patent rights to a version of the spike protein, described as “Prefusion Coronavirus Spike Proteins and Their Use”.
