Receptor-binding domain of the S1 subunit of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
Spike (S) protein: This group contains the receptor-binding domain of the S1 subunit of the spike
(S) protein from highly pathogenic human virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The CoV S protein is an
envelope glycoprotein that plays the most important role in viral attachment, fusion, and entry
into host cells, and serves as a major target for the development of neutralizing antibodies,
inhibitors of viral entry, and vaccines. It is synthesized as a precursor protein that is cleaved into
an N-terminal S1 subunit (~700 amino acids) and a C-terminal S2 subunit (~600 amino acids)
that mediates attachment and membrane fusion, respectively. Three S1/S2 heterodimers
assemble to form a trimer spike protruding from the viral envelope. The S1 subunit contains a
receptor-binding domain (RBD), while the S2 subunit contains a hydrophobic fusion peptide and
two heptad repeat regions. S1 contains two structurally independent domains, the N-terminal
domain (NTD) and the C-terminal domain (C-domain). Depending on the virus, either the NTD
or the C-domain can serve as the receptor-binding domain (RBD). While RBD of mouse
hepatitis virus (MHV) is located at the NTD, most of other CoVs, including SARS-CoV-2 use
the C-domain to bind their receptors. Recent studies found that the receptor-binding domain
(RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 S protein binds strongly to human and bat angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 RBD exhibited significantly higher
binding affinity to the ACE2 receptor than SARS-CoV RBD. Due to the key role of the S protein
RBD in viral attachment, it is the major target for antibody-mediated neutralization. This model
corresponds to the S1 subunit C-domain that serves as the RBD for SARS-CoV-2 and most
CoVs.
QS:
Refer back to your notes and reread the details on the RBD. Given that this small domain is the
part that directly interacts with the receptor on the host cells, do you think that SARS-CoV-1 and
SARS-CoV-2 bind the receptors similarly? Why or why not? [1 mark]

Receptor-binding domain of the S1 subunit of severe acute respiratory.pdf

  • 1. Receptor-binding domain of the S1 subunit of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Spike (S) protein: This group contains the receptor-binding domain of the S1 subunit of the spike (S) protein from highly pathogenic human virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The CoV S protein is an envelope glycoprotein that plays the most important role in viral attachment, fusion, and entry into host cells, and serves as a major target for the development of neutralizing antibodies, inhibitors of viral entry, and vaccines. It is synthesized as a precursor protein that is cleaved into an N-terminal S1 subunit (~700 amino acids) and a C-terminal S2 subunit (~600 amino acids) that mediates attachment and membrane fusion, respectively. Three S1/S2 heterodimers assemble to form a trimer spike protruding from the viral envelope. The S1 subunit contains a receptor-binding domain (RBD), while the S2 subunit contains a hydrophobic fusion peptide and two heptad repeat regions. S1 contains two structurally independent domains, the N-terminal domain (NTD) and the C-terminal domain (C-domain). Depending on the virus, either the NTD or the C-domain can serve as the receptor-binding domain (RBD). While RBD of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) is located at the NTD, most of other CoVs, including SARS-CoV-2 use the C-domain to bind their receptors. Recent studies found that the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 S protein binds strongly to human and bat angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 RBD exhibited significantly higher binding affinity to the ACE2 receptor than SARS-CoV RBD. Due to the key role of the S protein RBD in viral attachment, it is the major target for antibody-mediated neutralization. This model corresponds to the S1 subunit C-domain that serves as the RBD for SARS-CoV-2 and most CoVs. QS: Refer back to your notes and reread the details on the RBD. Given that this small domain is the part that directly interacts with the receptor on the host cells, do you think that SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 bind the receptors similarly? Why or why not? [1 mark]
