SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.351 and P.1 escape from neutralizing antibodies.

TLDR
In this article, the authors show that SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 variants B.1.7 (UK), B.351 (South Africa), and P.1 (Brazil) harbor mutations in the viral spike (S) protein that may alter virus-host cell interactions and confer resistance to inhibitors and antibodies.

Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells.

TL;DR: In this article, structural and cellular foundations for understanding the multistep SARS-CoV-2 entry process, including S protein synthesis, S protein structure, conformational transitions necessary for association of the spike (S) protein with ACE2, engagement of the receptor-binding domain of the S protein with ACS, proteolytic activation of S protein, endocytosis and membrane fusion are provided.

The Omicron variant is highly resistant against antibody-mediated neutralization: Implications for control of the COVID-19 pandemic

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported that the Omicron spike was resistant against most therapeutic antibodies but remained susceptible to inhibition by sotrovimab, and that double immunization with BNT162b2 might not adequately protect against severe disease induced by this variant.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biological and clinical significance of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

TL;DR: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with novel spike protein mutations that are influencing the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic has been witnessed as mentioned in this paper.

TMPRSS2 and ADAM17 cleave ACE2 differentially and only proteolysis by TMPRSS2 augments entry driven by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus spike protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that arginine and lysine residues within ACE2 amino acids 697 to 716 are essential for cleavage by TMPRSS2 and HAT and that ACE2 processing is required for augmentation of SARS-S-driven entry by these proteases.

Early transmissibility assessment of the N501Y mutant strains of SARS-CoV-2 in the United Kingdom, October to November 2020.

TL;DR: In this article, two new SARS-CoV-2 lineages with the N501Y mutation in the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein spread rapidly in the United Kingdom.

Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 spike 69/70 deletion, E484K and N501Y variants by BNT162b2 vaccine-elicited sera.

TL;DR: In this paper, three severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viruses containing key spike mutations from the newly emerged United Kingdom (UK) and South African (SA) variants: N501Y from UK and SA; 69/70 deletion + N 501Y+D614G from UK; and E484K from SA.
