Abstract

Cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147), a transmembrane glycoprotein, has been identified as a potential auxiliary receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP), contributing to COVID-19 infection. However, the detailed binding characteristics of this interaction remain unclear. Here, we characterized SP-CD147 binding using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) under varying contact times and temperatures. While SP binds CD147 with lower force than angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) at normal body temperatures, its binding strength to CD147 significantly increases under fever-like conditions, contrasting with SP-ACE2 interactions, which weaken at elevated temperatures. We further investigated the role of heparin in modulating this interaction and found that heparin independently binds both CD147 and SP, enhancing the interaction force between CD147 and SP, as confirmed by Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) and SMFS. Molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations provided atomic-level insights into the stabilizing role of heparin within the SP/CD147 complex. These findings offer a comprehensive characterization of the CD147-SP interaction, revealing potential therapeutic avenues for COVID-19 intervention.

摘要

分化簇147(CD147)是一种跨膜糖蛋白,已被确定为严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)刺突蛋白(SP)的潜在辅助受体,在新冠病毒病(COVID-19)感染中起作用。然而,这种相互作用的详细结合特性仍不清楚。在此,我们在不同的接触时间和温度下,使用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和单分子力谱(SMFS)对SP-CD147结合进行了表征。在正常体温下,SP与CD147的结合力低于血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2),但其在类似发热的条件下与CD147的结合强度显著增加,这与SP-ACE2相互作用形成对比,后者在温度升高时会减弱。我们进一步研究了肝素在调节这种相互作用中的作用,发现肝素可独立结合CD147和SP,增强CD147与SP之间的相互作用力,这通过石英晶体微天平(QCM)和SMFS得到了证实。分子动力学模拟和结合自由能计算为肝素在SP/CD147复合物中的稳定作用提供了原子水平的见解。这些发现全面表征了CD147-SP相互作用,揭示了COVID-19干预的潜在治疗途径。
