Altered TMPRSS2 usage by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron impacts infectivity and fusogenicity

Bo Meng, +219 more
- 24 Mar 2022 - 
TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 variant emerged in 20211 and has multiple mutations in its spike protein this paper , which increased the evasion of therapeutic monoclonal and vaccine-elicited polyclonal neutralizing antibodies after two doses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attenuated fusogenicity and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

TL;DR: The emergence of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is an urgent global health concern as mentioned in this paper , and statistical modelling suggests that OmicRON has spread more rapidly than the Delta variant in several countries including South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

SARS-CoV-2 D614G spike mutation increases entry efficiency with enhanced ACE2-binding affinity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that naturally occurring S mutations can reduce or enhance cell entry via ACE2 and TMPRSS2, and conclude that the D614G mutation increases cell entry by acquiring higher affinity to ACE2 while maintaining neutralization susceptibility.
