    Article Title: Antibody-mediated SARS-CoV-2 entry in cultured cells.
    Article Snippet: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters host cells by first engaging its cellular receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to induce conformational changes in the virus-encoded spike protein and fusion between the viral and target cell membranes.. Here, we report that certain monoclonal neutralizing antibodies against distinct epitopic regions of the receptor-binding domain of the spike can replace ACE2 to serve as a receptor and efficiently support membrane fusion and viral infectivity in vitro.. These receptor-like antibodies can function in the form of a complex of their soluble immunoglobulin G with Fcgamma receptor I, a chimera of their antigen-binding fragment with the transmembrane domain of ACE2 or a membrane-bound B cell receptor, indicating that ACE2 and its specific interaction with the spike protein are dispensable for SARS-CoV-2 entry.

    FIGURE 1 (A) Graphical overview of the experimental set-up, starting with the isolation of seminal fluid extracellular vesicles (SF-EVs) from leftover semen samples via ultracentrifugation and size-exclusion chromatography. The purified SF-EV stocks showed distinctive <t>TMPRSS2</t> enzyme activity and were characterised for size distribution via nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Then, we confirmed surface-exposed TMPRSS2 on the SF-EVs via high-sensitivity flow cytometry, triggering us to develop an SF-EV based in vitro screening assay for TMPRSS2-inhibitors. (B) Architecture of TMPRSS2. Native TMPRSS2 constitutes the N-terminal cytoplasmic, the transmembrane, the LDL- receptor class A, the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich and the peptidase S1 domains. The recombinant TMPRSS2 (dasTMPRSS2, 44 kDa) constitutes the LDL-receptor class A, the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich, the peptidase S1 domain (26 kDa) and an AviTag and C-terminal 8xHIS-tag (not shown), with the enterokinase-cleavable sequence DDDDK255 at the red dot replacing the native SRQSR255 amino acid sequence.

    FIGURE 5 Detection of TMPRSS2 in the seminal fluid-derived extracellular vesicle preparations. The detected TMPRSS2 band perfectly matches the theoretical weight of the Peptidase S1 domain (26 kDa) as calculated with ExPASy ProtParam, with the less prominent band probably arising due to off-target auto-activation of the protein (Gasteiger et al. 2005). The band detected in the PC3 cells most closely correlates to the extracellular topological domain of TMPRSS2 and can also slightly be detected in the SF-EVs. A molecular weight ladder (Std) was loaded on each gel. Std, PageRuler Plus Prestained Protein Ladder; EV, seminal-fluid extracellular vesicles; PC3, prostate cancer cell lysate.

The experiments were performed in triplicates and repeated at least twice, with independent samples giving similar results. Error bars indicate the standard deviation calculated by the Excel STDEV function.
