The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 plays a central role in 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.

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein undergoes a dramatic conformational rearrangement that plays a central role in fusing the coronavirus membrane with the host cell membrane[1]. Similar conformational transformations have been observed for the spike protein of SARS-CoV[2] and mouse hepatitis virus[3], among others. These rearrangements also have much in common with the membrane fusion mechansism of influenza hemagglutinin[4]. The molecular scenes in this article are based on the cryo-EM pre- and post-fusion structures of SARS-CoV-2 reported July, 2020, by Cai, Zhang and coworkers with the group of Bing Chen[1].

Zoom the molecule with your mouse wheel, or Shift-Drag up/down.

The is a homo-trimer, each chain having a mature length of 1,261 amino acids. This pre-fusion cryo-EM structure 6xr8 is complete except for 110 residues of the C-terminus (narrow end), comprising 48 residues of the stem (heptad repeat 2 domain), a 23-residue trans-membrane domain, and a 39 residue cytoplasmic domain.

(from Cai, Zhang et al. [1]; lengths):

  • 14-306 (293): N-terminal domain.
  • 307-330 (24): Linker.
  • 331-528 (198): Receptor binding domain, binds to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
  • 529-591 (63): CTD1 (C terminal region of S1 fragment after furin cleavage).
  • 592-676 (85): CTD2 (C terminus of S1 fragment after furin cleavage).
  • 677-688 (12): Furin cleavage site PRRAR (missing in this model due to disorder).
  • 689-816 (128): Linker
  • 817-825 (9): Fusion peptide (FP).
  • 826-834 (9): Fusion peptide proximal region (FPPR).
  • 835-910 (76): Linker
  • 911-985 (75): Heptad repeat 1 (HR1)
  • 986-1035 (49): Central helix (CH)
  • 1036-1068 (33): Connector domain (CD)
