Coagulation factors directly cleave SARS-CoV-2 spike and enhance viral entry

TL;DR: In this paper, a drug-repurposing screen identified a subset of protease inhibitors that promiscuously inhibited spike cleavage by both transmembrane serine proteases as well as coagulation factors.

Coagulation factors directly cleave SARS-CoV-2 spike and enhance viral entry

TL;DR: This work proposes a model of positive feedback whereby infection-induced hypercoagulation exacerbates SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and identifies a subset of protease inhibitors that promiscuously inhibited spike cleavage by both transmembrane serine proteases and coagulation factors.

Evolution of host protease interactions among SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and related coronaviruses

TL;DR: It is shown that substitutions in the S1/S2 cleavage site observed in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) exhibit divergent interactions with host proteases, including factor Xa and furin.
