Figure Lengend Snippet: a , b Entry of SARS-CoV-2 S pseudovirions on indicated cell lines. Cells from human and animal origin were inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 S (red), SARS-CoV S (blue), or VSV-G (gray) pseudovirions. At 48 h post inoculation, transduction efficiency was measured according to luciferase activities. RS, Rhinolophus sinicus bat embryonic fibroblast; BHK/hAPN, BHK cells stably expressing hAPN, the hCoV-229E receptor; 293/hACE2, 293 cells stably expressing hACE2, the SARS-CoV receptor; HeLa/hDPP4, HeLa cells stably expressing hDPP4, the MERS-CoV receptor. Experiments were done in triplicates and repeated at least three times. One representative is shown with error bars indicating SEM. c Binding of SARS-CoV S and SARS-CoV-2 S proteins to soluble hACE2. HEK293T cells transiently expressing SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 S proteins were incubated with the soluble hACE2 on ice, followed by polyclonal goat anti-hACE2 antibody. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The experiments were repeated at least three times. d Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 S pseudovirion entry by soluble hACE2. SARS-CoV S, SARS-CoV-2 S, or VSV-G pseudovirions were pre-incubated with soluble hACE2, then mixture were added to 293/hACE2 cells. Cells were lysed 40 h later and pseudoviral transduction was measured. Experiments were done twice and one representative is shown. Error bars indicate SEM of technical triplicates.

Figure Lengend Snippet: a Inhibition of entry of SARS-CoV-2 S pseudovirion on 293/hACE2 by lysosomotropic agents (20 mM NH 4 Cl and 100 nM bafilomycin A). b Inhibition of entry of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and MHV S pseudovirions by a PIKfyve inhibitor apilimod. HeLa/mCEACAM, 293/hACE2, HeLa/hDPP4 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of apilimod and transduced with MHV S, SARS-CoV S, MERS-CoV S pseudovirions, respectively. The luciferase activity was measured 40 h post transduction. VSV-G pseudovirions were used as a control. Experiments were done in triplicates and repeated at least three times. One representative is shown with error bars indicating SEM. c Inhibition of MHV A59 infection by apilimod. The 17Cl.1 cells were pretreated with 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 nM apilimod for 30 min and infected by MHV A59 at MOI = 0.01. Viral infection and cell viability were determined by using qPCR and MTT assay, respectively. Experiments were done in triplicates and repeated at least three times. One representative is shown with error bars indicating SEM. d , e Inhibition of entry of SARS-CoV-2 S protein pseudovirions by apilimod, YM201636, and tetrandrine. HEK 293/hACE2 cells were pretreated with either apilimod ( d ), YM201636 ( e ), or tetrandrine ( f ), then inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 S pseudovirons in the presence of drug. The luciferase activity were measured 40 h post transduction. YM201636, PIKfyve inhibitor; tetrandrine, TPC2 inhibitor. The experiments were done in triplicates and repeated at least three times. One representative is shown with error bars indicating SEM of technical triplicates. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
