“…Thus, in addition to ACE2, several other membrane components have been proposed to function as co-receptors or attachment sites for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. These include Cluster of Differentiation 147 (CD147), also known as Basigin (BSG) [ [242] , [243] , [244] , [245] ], Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular adhesion molecule-3-Grabbing Non-integrin (DC-SIGN), also known as Cluster of Differentiation 209 (CD209) [ [246] , [247] , [248] , [249] , [250] , [251] ], Neuropilin-1 [ 252 , 253 ], glycosaminoglycans [ 254 ], heparan sulphate [ 255 ], and kidney injury molecule-1 [ 256 ]. Interestingly, in reconstituted lipid membranes devoid of ACE2, binding of the S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to neutral phospholipid membranes and liposomes was reported to cause mechanical destabilization and membrane permeabilization in a receptor-independent manner [ 257 ].…”
