 +{{ ::sars_spike_protein_activation_study.png?400|}}
 +Abstract
 +The coronavirus spike protein (S) plays a key role in the early steps of viral infection, with the S1 domain responsible for receptor binding and the S2 domain mediating membrane fusion. 
  
 +In some cases, the S protein is proteolytically cleaved at the S1–S2 boundary. In the case of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), it has been shown that virus entry requires the endosomal protease cathepsin L; however, it was also found that infection of SARS-CoV could be strongly induced by trypsin treatment. 
 +
 +Overall, in terms of how cleavage might activate membrane fusion, proteolytic processing of the SARS-CoV S protein remains unclear. Here, we identify a proteolytic cleavage site within the SARS-CoV S2 domain (S2′, R797). Mutation of R797 specifically inhibited trypsin-dependent fusion in both cell–cell fusion and pseudovirion entry assays. 
 +
 +We also introduced a furin cleavage site at both the S2′ cleavage site within S2 793-KPTKR-797 (S2′), as well as at the junction of S1 and S2. Introduction of a furin cleavage site at the S2′ position allowed trypsin-independent cell–cell fusion, which was strongly increased by the presence of a second furin cleavage site at the S1–S2 position. 
 +
 +Taken together, these data suggest a novel priming mechanism for a viral fusion protein, with a critical proteolytic cleavage event on the SARS-CoV S protein at position 797 (S2′), acting in concert with the S1–S2 cleavage site to mediate membrane fusion and virus infectivity.

 +==== SARS-CoV-2 ferritin nanoparticle vaccine ====
 +
 +A SARS-CoV-2 ferritin nanoparticle vaccine elicits protective immune responses in nonhuman primates ((https://web.archive.org/web/20211216192220/https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.abi5735))
 +
 +=== Science Translational Medicine ===
 +
 +16 Dec 2021 • First Release • DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.abi5735
 +
 +Self-assembling protein nanoparticle vaccines offer the advantage of multivalent antigen presentation, a property previously shown to augment immunogenicity over monovalent immunogens (5–7). Ferritin is a naturally occurring, ubiquitous, iron-carrying protein that self-oligomerizes into a 24-unit spherical particle (8). The three-fold axis symmetry of the resulting polymer makes it conducive to conjugation and antigen display of trimeric glycoproteins, such as [[:SARS-CoV-2]] spike protein. Ferritin has been evaluated as a vaccine platform for several pathogens (9–11), most notably influenza, for which it has demonstrated immune potency and breadth (12, 13). As such, ferritin vaccines have advanced to phase 1 clinical trials as a strategy to target multiple influenza strains (14, 15).
 +
 +
 +The prefusion-stabilized form of the spike protein is the basis for most major SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates (16, 17). Although a correlate of protection from COVID-19 has not been conclusively defined, there is mounting evidence that neutralizing, and some fraction of non-neutralizing, antibodies against spike protein are necessary, if not sufficient, to confer protective immunity (18, 19). 
 +
 +The most potent neutralizing antibodies are directed against the spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD), which mediates attachment to the primary host cell receptor, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE2). Our prior assessment of a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ferritin [[:nanoparticle]] (SpFN) vaccine candidate, co-formulated with a [[:liposomal adjuvant]], has demonstrated potent immunogenicity and protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in mouse models (20). 
 +
 +These data have provided a basis for evaluating SpFN immunogenicity and efficacy against viral replication and pathology in the airways and lungs of nonhuman primates (NHP), a standard model for preclinical evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (21).
