abstract = {SARS-CoV-2 is a newly emerged coronavirus that caused the
global COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020. COVID-19 is
primarily associated with lung injury, but many other
clinical symptoms such as loss of smell and taste
demonstrated broad tissue tropism of the virus. Early
SARS-CoV-2-host cell interactions and entry mechanisms
remain poorly understood. Investigating SARS-CoV-2 infection
in tissue culture, we found that the protease TMPRSS2
determines the entry pathway used by the virus. In the
presence of TMPRSS2, the proteolytic process of SARS-CoV-2
was completed at the plasma membrane, and the virus rapidly
entered the cells within 10 min in a pH-independent manner.
When target cells lacked TMPRSS2 expression, the virus was
endocytosed and sorted into endolysosomes, from which
SARS-CoV-2 entered the cytosol via acid-activated cathepsin
L protease 40-60 min post-infection. Overexpression of
TMPRSS2 in non-TMPRSS2 expressing cells abolished the
dependence of infection on the cathepsin L pathway and
restored sensitivity to the TMPRSS2 inhibitors. Together,
our results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 infects cells through
distinct, mutually exclusive entry routes and highlight the
importance of TMPRSS2 for SARS-CoV-2 sorting into either
pathway.},
