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.

LY-CoV555, a rapidly isolated potent neutralizing antibody, provides protection in a non-human primate model of SARS-CoV-2 infection

TL;DR: High-throughput microfluidic screening of antigen-specific B-cells led to the identification of LY-CoV555, a potent anti-spike neutralizing antibody derived from a convalescent COVID-19 patient that protects the upper and lower airways of non-human primates against SARS- CoV-2 infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional analysis of potential cleavage sites in the MERS-coronavirus spike protein

TL;DR: It is found that an intact S1/S2 site was only required for efficient entry into cells expressing endogenous TMPRSS2, and findings suggest that cleavage at S2′ is carried out by proteases recognizing a single arginine, most likely TMPR SS2 and cathepsin L.

Differential Sensitivity of Bat Cells to Infection by Enveloped RNA Viruses: Coronaviruses, Paramyxoviruses, Filoviruses, and Influenza Viruses

TL;DR: Results indicate that bat cells are more resistant to infection by coronaviruses than to infections by paramyxoviruses, filovirus and influenza viruses, and show a receptor-dependent restriction of the infection of bat cells by CoV.

Mutations in the Spike Protein of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Transmitted in Korea Increase Resistance to Antibody-Mediated Neutralization.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that MERS-CoV variants with reduced neutralization sensitivity were transmitted during the Korean outbreak and that the responsible mutations were compatible with robust infection of cells expressing high levels of DPP4.

Detection of B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2 Variant Strain - Zambia, December 2020.

TL;DR: The first laboratory-confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, in Zambia were detected in March 2020 (1). Beginning in July, the number of confirmed cases began to increase rapidly, first peaking during July-August, and then declining in September and October as mentioned in this paper.
