Cytoplasmic Domain and Enzymatic Activity of ACE2 Are Not Required for PI4KB Dependent Endocytosis Entry of SARS-CoV-2 into Host Cells
VIROLOGICA SINICA(2022)
摘要
The recent COVID-19 pandemic poses a global health emergency. Cellular entry of the causative agent SARS-CoV-2 is mediated by its spike protein interacting with cellular receptor- human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here, we used lentivirus based pseudotypes bearing spike protein to demonstrate that entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells is dependent on clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and phosphoinositides play essential role during this process. In addition, we showed that the intracellular domain and the catalytic activity of ACE2 is not required for efficient virus entry. These results provide new insights into SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry and present potential targets for drug development.
