We show that the transmembrane domain of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein is not just a passive anchor to the virion surface, but a key player in the viral entry process.
The sequence and structural integrity of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein transmembrane domain is crucial for viral entry - Communications Biology
A study using SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped viruses and testing Spike protein fusion capacity demonstrates that its transmembrane domain is essential for viral entry and suggests the presence of an intramemb...
