Proteolytic activation of SARS-CoV-2 spike at the S1/S2 boundary: potential role of proteases beyond furin

T. Tang, J. A. Jaimes, M. K. Bidon, M. R. Straus, S. Daniel, G. R. Whittaker

This study investigates the role of S1/S2 cleavage in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein activation, showing its necessity for early pathway entry in Calu-3 cells and involvement of proteases beyond furin.
