The [[SARS-CoV-2 protein S|spike protein of SARS-CoV-2]] plays a central role in [[SARS-CoV-2 spike protein priming by furin|coronavirus attachment to the ACE2 receptor on host cells]], and in getting the RNA genome of the virus into the host cell via fusion of the virus and host cell membranes, initiating infection. | The [[SARS-CoV-2 protein S|spike protein of SARS-CoV-2]] plays a central role in [[SARS-CoV-2 spike protein priming by furin|coronavirus attachment to the ACE2 receptor on host cells]], and in getting the RNA genome of the virus into the host cell via fusion of the virus and host cell membranes, initiating infection. |
