Proteolytic control of the SARS-CoV-2 furin cleavage site defines the phenotypic evolution from the pandemic to endemic state

Anupriya Aggarwal, Samantha Ognenovska, Timothy Ison, Christina Fichter, Vanessa Milogiannakis, Madeeha Afzal, Alberto Ospina-Stella, Daniel Asarnow, Angelica L. Morgan, Shafagh A. Waters, Till Böcking, Boaz Ng, Camille Esneau, Nathan Bartlett, Atharva Naik, , Stuart Grant Turville

The paper shows how SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly Omicron, evolved proteolytic controls at the Spike furin cleavage site to enhance transmission while reducing lower respiratory tract pathogenicity.

Replication of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages is defined by TMPRSS2 use in environments where ACE2 is complexed with solute carriers SLC6A19 and SLC6A20.

Anupriya Aggarwal, Samantha Ognenovska, Timothy Ison, Christina Fichter, Vanessa Milogiannakis, Madeeha Afzal, Alberto Ospina Stella, Shafagh A. Waters, Camille Esneau, Nathan Wylie Bartlett, Stefan Pöhlmann, Markus Hoffmann, Louise M. Burrell, Sheila K. Patel, Sally Ellis, , Stuart Grant Turville

This paper shows that SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages replicate using a specific ACE2 pool that does not complex with TMPRSS2, unlike pre-Omicron variants.

Analytical validity of nanopore sequencing for rapid SARS-CoV-2 genome analysis

Rowena Anne Bull, Thiruni N. Adikari, James M. Ferguson, J. W. Hammond, Igor Stevanovski, Alicia G. Beukers, Zin Naing, Malinna Yeang, Andrey Verich, Hasindu Gamaarachchi, Ki Wook Kim, Fabio Luciani, Sacha Stelzer‐Braid, John‐Sebastian Eden, William D. Rawlinson, , Ira W. Deveson

This study evaluates the analytical validity of nanopore sequencing for SARS-CoV-2 genome analysis, finding high accuracy for SNVs but limitations in detecting short indels and low-frequency variants.
