the spike glycoprotein of the new coronavirus e-ncov contains a furin-like cleavage site absent in cov of the same clade.
the spike glycoprotein of the new coronavirus e-ncov contains a furin-like cleavage site absent in cov of the same clade.
despite a high similarity with the genome sequence of sars-cov and sars-like covs, we identified a peculiar furin-like cleavage site in the spike protein of the 2019-ncov, lacking in the other sars-like covs.", "it has been speculated that rrar, a unique furin-like cleavage site (fcs) in the spike protein (s), which is absent in other lineage b βcovs, such as sars-cov, is responsible for its high infectivity and transmissibility.2 a coronavirus (cov) infects the target cell by either cytoplasmic or endosomal membrane fusion."
