Cryo-EM Structures of the N501Y SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in Complex with ACE2 and Two Potent Neutralizing Antibodies
Description
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The recently reported “UK variant” of SARS-CoV-2 is thought to be more infectious than previously circulating strains as a result of several changes, including the N501Y mutation. We present a 2.9-Å resolution cryo-EM structure of the complex between the ACE2 receptor and N501Y spike protein ectodomains that shows Y501 inserted into a cavity at the binding interface near Y41 of ACE2. The additional interactions result in increased affinity of ACE2 for the N501Y mutant, accounting for its increased infectivity. However, this mutation does not result in large structural changes, enabling important neutralization epitopes to be retained in the spike receptor binding domain. We confirmed this through biophysical assays and by determining cryo-EM structures of spike protein ectodomains bound to two representative potent neutralizing antibody fragments.</jats:p><jats:sec><jats:title>Short summary</jats:title><jats:p>The N501Y mutation found in the coronavirus UK variant increases infectivity but some neutralizing antibodies can still bind.</jats:p></jats:sec>
