    Snippet: However, such protease cleavage has not been detected in SARS-CoV 19 . Introducing a cleavage site into SARS-CoV resulted in spike protein cleavage and potentiated the membrane fusion activity 11 . In addition, introducing a cleaved spike protein into a SARS-CoV pseudotype virus allowed it to directly enter host cells 31 . Based on previous sequencing and structural analysis, the 2019-nCoV spike protein were predicted to 10 interact with the ACE2.....
    Document: However, such protease cleavage has not been detected in SARS-CoV 19 . Introducing a cleavage site into SARS-CoV resulted in spike protein cleavage and potentiated the membrane fusion activity 11 . In addition, introducing a cleaved spike protein into a SARS-CoV pseudotype virus allowed it to directly enter host cells 31 . Based on previous sequencing and structural analysis, the 2019-nCoV spike protein were predicted to 10 interact with the ACE2 receptor to trigger the fusion with the host cell membrane and initiate infection 29 . Therefore, mutations or indels altering the S1-S2 subunits should significantly impact viral infection. We hypothesize that the PRRA insertion may render the spike protein to cleavage process, which triggers the viral fusion event.
