Genetic Variant of SARS-CoV-2 Isolates in Indonesia: Spike Glycoprotein Gene
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus and the primary causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first occurred in China and rapidly spread worldwide.

SARS-CoV-2 infects humans and causes Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The S1 domain of the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 binds to human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) via its receptor-binding domain, while the S2 domain facilitates fusion

Sindbis virus ts103 has a mutation in glycoprotein E2 that leads to defective assembly of virions [PDF]
Sindbis virus mutant ts103 is aberrant in the assembly of virus particles. During virus budding, proper nucleocapsid-glycoprotein interactions fail to occur such that particles containing many nucleocapsids are formed, and the final yield of virus is low.

SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, also known as S proteins, are the proteins on the surface of the virus that allow it to bind to and enter host cells. The spike protein binds to the ACE2 receptor on human cells, which allows the virus to enter and infect the host. The spike protein is also the target of many COVID-19 vaccines, as it is a unique and essential

Characterization of spike glycoprotein of 2019-nCoV on virus entry and its immune cross-reactivity with spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV [PDF]
Abstract Since beginning of this century, there have already been three zoonotic outbreaks caused by beta coronaviruses (CoV), SARS-CoV in 2002-2003, MERS-CoV in 2012, and the newly identified 2019-nCoV in late 2019, Wuhan, China. As to Feb 10th, 2020, there are over 40,000 confirmed cases and over 900 deaths. However, little is known about the

A review of coronavirus infection in the central nervous system of cats and mice. [PDF]
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a common cause of death in cats. Management of this disease has been hampered by difficulties identifying the infection and determining the immunological status of affected cats and by high variability in the ...

The V5A13.1 envelope glycoprotein deletion mutant of mouse hepatitis virus type-4 is neuroattenuated by its reduced rate of spread in the central nervous system. [PDF]
Following intracerebral inoculation of adult Balb/c Byj mice, the MHV-4 strain of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) had an LD50 of less than 0.1 PFU, whereas its monoclonal antibody resistant variant V5A13.1 had an LD50 of 10(4.2) PFU.

FRETing over SARS-CoV-2: Conformational Dynamics of the Spike Glycoprotein [PDF]
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Lu et al. utilize single-molecule FRET to reveal the conformation dynamics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, showing transitions from a closed ground state to the open receptor-accessible conformation via an on-path intermediate.
