Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 spike trimers towards optimized heparan sulfate cross-linking and inter-chain mobility by Jurij Froese, Marco Mandalari, Monica Civera, Stefano Elli, Isabel Pagani, Elisa Vicenzi, Itzel Garcia-Monge, Daniele Di Iorio, Saskia Frank, Antonella Bisio, Dominik Lenhart, Rudolf Gruber, Edwin A. Yates, Ralf P. Richter, Marco Guerrini, Seraphine V. Wegner, Kay Grobe

“…Abstract The heparan sulfate (HS)-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) serves as an initial interaction site for the homotrimeric spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 to facilitate subsequent docking to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and cellular infection. More recent variants, notably Omicron, have evolved by swapping several amino acids to positively charged residues to enhance the interaction of the S-protein trimer with the negatively charged HS. …”
