Background

SARS-CoV-2, which causes the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that also include MERS and SARS-CoV-1. Coronaviruses are commonly comprised of four structural proteins: Spike protein (S), Envelope protein (E), Membrane protein (M) and Nucleocapsid protein (N) (1). The SARS-CoV-2 S protein is a glycoprotein that mediates membrane fusion and viral entry. The S protein is homotrimeric, with each ~180-kDa monomer consisting of two subunits, S1 and S2 (2). In SARS-CoV-2, as with most coronaviruses, proteolytic cleavage of the S protein into S1 and S2 subunits is required for activation. The S1 subunit is focused on attachment of the protein to the host receptor while the S2 subunit is involved with cell fusion (3-5). A metallopeptidase, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), has been identified as a functional receptor for SARS-CoV-2 through interaction with a receptor binding domain (RBD) located at the C-terminus of S1 subunit (6, 7). The S protein of SARS-CoV-2 shares 75% and 29% amino acid sequence identity with S protein of SARS‑CoV-1 and MERS, respectively. A SARS-CoV-2 variant (C.36.3) carrying the aa substitution H69 del, V70 del, W152R, R346S, L452R, D614G, Q677H was first identified in Thailand, traveled from Egypt. This variant is one of the Kappa lineage.
