Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is initiated by hemagglutinin (HA), a glycoprotein exposed on the virion’s lipid envelope that undergoes cleavage by host cell proteases to ensure membrane fusion, entry into the host cells, and completion of the viral ...

Expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and the severity of COVID‑19
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) to enter host cells. Variability in gene expression of these entry factors has been hypothesized to influence susceptibility ...

TMPRSS2: A Key Host Factor in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Potential Therapeutic Target
The transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) gene plays a crucial role in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection by priming the viral spike protein for membrane fusion and facilitating viral entry into host cells.

TMPRSS2 regulates ACE2 trafficking and shedding
Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) functions as the receptor for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus utilizes the cellular endocytic machinery for entry by binding to defined residues on ACE2 with its spike protein (S protein), whose activation requires a priming process by another ...
