Figure 2. Substitutions at SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1/S2 site cause divergent changes to interactions with host proteases.
Reaction rates (expressed as initial reaction velocity V0 normalized to the concentration of enzyme Et) for the cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 spike S1/S2 ancestral (P681) and variant (P681H and P681R) peptide substrates by (A) factor Xa, (B) furin, and (C) TMPRSS2, and (D) Thrombin were measured over a range of 0–80 μM substrate.
