One notable feature of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2
has a polybasic furin cleavage site (FCS) at its S1-S2 boundary through the
insertion of 12 nucleotides encoding four amino acid residues PRRA. Quite
intriguingly, this polybasic FCS is absent in coronaviruses of the same clade as
SARS-CoV-2. Thus, with currently available experimental structural data for S
protein, this short article presents a set of comprehensive structural
characterization of the insertion of FCS into S protein, and argues against a
hypothesis of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 from purposeful manipulation: (1), the
inserted FCS is spatially located at a random coil loop region, mostly distantly
solvent-exposed (instead of deeply buried), with no structural proximity to the
other part of the S protein; (2), the insertion of FCS itself does not alter,
neither stabilize nor de-stabilize, the three-dimensional structure of S; (3),
the net result here is the insertion of a furin cleavage site into S protein,
whose S1 and S2 subunits will still be strongly electrostatically bonded together
from a structural and biophysical point of view, even if the polybasic FCS is
actually cleaved by furin protease before or after viral cell entry.
