SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory virus which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The coronavirus spike (S) glycoprotein is a class I viral fusion protein on the outer envelope of the virion that plays a critical role in viral infection by recognizing host cell receptors and mediating fusion of the viral and cellular membranes. The S glycoprotein is synthesized as a precursor protein consisting of ~1,300 amino acids that is then cleaved into an amino (N)-terminal S1 subunit (~700 amino acids) and a carboxyl (C)-terminal S2 subunit (~600 amino acids). Three S1/S2 heterodimers assemble to form a trimer spike protruding from the viral envelope. The S1 subunit contains a receptor-binding domain (RBD) that can specifically bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the receptor on target cells. Triggered by receptor binding, proteolytic processing and/or acidic pH in the cellular compartments, the class I viral fusion protein undergoes a transition from a metastable pre-fusion state to a stable post-fusion state during infection, in which the receptor-binding subunit is cleaved, and the fusion subunit undergoes large-scale conformational rearrangements to expose the hydrophobic fusion peptide, induce the formation of a six-helix bundle, and bring the viral and cellular membranes close for fusion. The trimeric SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) S glycoprotein consisting of three S1-S2 heterodimers binds the cellular receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and mediates fusion of the viral and cellular membranes through a pre- to post-fusion conformation transition. SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351, South Africa variant, has multiple changes in the spike protein and the mutations in the in the RBD result in stronger ACE2 binding.

- Source
- SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 Spike Protein S1, amino acid Val16-Arg685 (Accession # QHD43416.1), with (D80A, D215G, 241del, 242del, 243del, K417N, E484K, N501Y, D614G) and a C-terminal 8His and Avi-tag was expressed in CHO cells. SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 Spike Protein S1 Avi-tag was site-specifically biotinylated by enzyme BirA.
- Molecular Mass
- The 704 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 78.4 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced proteins migrate to approximately 100 - 110 kD and 90 -100 kD by SDS-PAGE, respectively. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Val.
- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS, pH 7.2
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 25 µg size is bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C to 8°C up to 2 weeks, at -20°C up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- Biotinylated recombinant SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 Spike Protein S1 binds to immobilized recombinant human ACE2-Fc (Cat. No. 793202) at 1 μg/mL in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 for this effect is 15 - 90 ng/mL. HRP Avidin (Cat. No. 405103) was used to detect the binding.
