Cleavage of the mouse hepatitis coronavirus strain A59 spike protein was blocked in a concentration-dependent manner by a peptide furin inhibitor, indicating that furin or a furin-like enzyme is responsible for this process. While cell-cell fusion was clearly affected by preventing spike protein cleavage, virus-cell fusion was not, indicating that these events have different requirements.
一种肽类弗林蛋白酶抑制剂以浓度依赖的方式阻断了小鼠肝炎病毒A59株刺突蛋白的切割,这表明弗林蛋白酶或类弗林蛋白酶负责这一过程。虽然阻止刺突蛋白切割明显影响细胞-细胞融合,但病毒-细胞融合不受影响,这表明这些事件有不同的要求。
