The PRRA Insert at the S1/S2 Site Modulates Cellular Tropism of SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 Usage by the Closely Related Bat RaTG13

Biochemical and structural analyses suggest that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) efficiently infects humans, and the presence of four residues (PRRA) at the S1/S2 site within the spike (S) protein may lead to unexpected tissue or host tropism. Here, we report that SARS-C...
