HDL-scavenger receptor B type 1 facilitates SARS-CoV-2 entry

Abstract: Responsible for the ongoing coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects host cells through binding of the viral spike protein (SARS-2-S) to the cell-surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here we show that the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) scavenger receptor B type 1 (SR-B1) facilitates ACE2-dependent entry of SARS-CoV-2. We find that the S1 subunit of SARS-2-S binds to cholesterol and possibly to HDL components to enhance … Show more

“…Whilst the tissue-specific factors controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection are poorly understood, there is an increasing recognition of the role of additional accessory receptors in viral entry. It has been shown that the high-density lipoprotein scavenger receptor B type 1 (SR-B1) helps facilitate ACE2-dependent coronavirus attachment in vitro 26 , reminiscent of hepatitis C virus infection 27 . Furthermore, treatments targeting SR-B1 reduced the lipoprotein-mediated enhancement…”

“…Although ACE2 has been identified as the receptor for SARS-CoV2, other receptors are being uncovered. These include Neuropilin 12,13 , CD147 14 , Heparan Sulphate proteoglycans 15 and HDL scavenger receptors 16 . Additionally, the highly glycosylated nature of Spike protein could also confer the ability to interact with yet unidentified receptors.…”

“…The first step in cellular infection by SARS-CoV-2 is the binding of S protein to the host cell surface entry factors such as the membrane associated and soluble ACE2 receptor (38) which may be preceded by weaker binding of the S protein to attachment factors such as heparan sulphate (39). Other entry factors that facilitate attachment or entry include neuropilin-1 (40,41), the tyrosine-protein kinase receptor UFO (AXL) (42), CD147 (43), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) scavenger receptor B type 1 (SR-B1) (44), integrins (45,46), angiotension II receptor 1 (AT1) and vasopressin receptor 2, but their role in natural infection is currently unclear. Proteases such as surface TMPRSS2 and endosomal cathespsin L (46) cleave the S protein to activate SARS-CoV-2 entry by endocytosis and membrane fusion (22).…”
