T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1 and transmembrane serine protease 2 synergistically enhance entry of a bat-derived merbecovirus
Abstract Phosphatidylserine (PS) receptors facilitate entry of diverse enveloped viruses and have been implicated in enhancing coronavirus attachment, including for SARS-CoV-2, yet their precise contribution remains unclear. We examined this pathway using EjCoV-3, a recently identified bat merbecovirus. Exogenous PS, b...
