physiological function | proteases TMPRSS2 and HAT cleave the HCoV-229E spike protein (229E-S) and augment 229E-S-driven cell-cell fusion. Engineered expression of TMPRSS2 and HAT renders 229E-S-driven virus-cell fusion insensitive to an inhibitor of cathepsin L. Activation by TMPRSS2 rescues 229E-S-dependent cell entry from inhibition by interferon-inducible host cell IFITM proteins. TMPRSS2 is coexpressed with CD13, the HCoV-229E receptor, in human airway epithelial cells, and CD13+ TMPRSS2+ cells are preferentially targeted by HCoV-229E | Homo sapiens |
