- explain please: Spike-Driven Syncytia Formation Is Coupled to S20 Fragment Generation in the Presence of ACE2. To investigate the functional and biochemical signatures of spike (S) protein upon engaging its receptor ACE2 in live cells, we first utilized a cell–cell fusion assay to obtain potentially cleaved spike protein products from syncytia . In this system, HEK293T cells transfected with plasmids encoding WT spike readily formed syncytia after coculturing with HEK293T cells expressing human and Vero E6-ACE2, as well as colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 and lung adenocarcinoma Calu-3 cells expressing endogenous ACE2. We then collected these adherent syncytia and immunoblotted for cleaved spike species using a rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically detecting the S2 ectodomain through standard reducing Tris-glycine sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This experiment revealed that spike expression in HEK293T cells displayed full-length S and autocleaved S2…arrow_forwardWhat are site-recombinases?
