Sequences in the cytoplasmic tail of SARS-CoV-2 Spike facilitate expression at the cell surface and syncytia formation


ABSTRACT: The spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds the cell surface protein ACE2 to mediate fusion of the viral membrane with target cells1-4. S comprises a large external domain, a transmembrane domain (TMD) and a short cytoplasmic tail5,6. To elucidate the intracellular trafficking of S protein in host cells we applied proteomics to identify cellular factors that interact with its cytoplasmic tail. We confirm interactions with components of the COPI, COPII and SNX27/retromer vesicle coats, and with FERM domain actin regulators and the WIPI3 autophagy component. The interaction with COPII promotes efficient exit from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and although COPI-binding should retain S in the early Golgi system where viral budding occurs, the binding is weakened by a suboptimal histidine residue in the recognition motif. As a result, S leaks to the surface where it accumulates as it lacks an endocytosis motif of the type found in many other coronaviruses7-10. It is known that when at the surface S can direct cell:cell fusion leading to the formation of multinucleate syncytia7-9. Thus, the trafficking signals in the cytoplasmic tail of S protein indicate that syncytia formation is not an inadvertent by-product of infection but rather a key aspect of the replicative cycle of SARS-CoV-2 and potential cause of pathological symptoms.
