Background: TMEM106B

SARS-CoV-2 is associated with broad tissue tropism, a characteristic often determined by the availability of entry receptors on host cells. TMEM106B, a lysosomal transmembrane protein, can serve as an alternative receptor for SARS-CoV-2 entry into angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-negative cells. Spike substitution E484D increased TMEM106B binding, thereby enhancing TMEM106B-mediated entry (1). ACE2-independent entry was dependent on endogenous TMEM106B, which binds to the receptor binding domain (RBD). Binding is augmented by mutation E484D (3). TMEM106B-specific monoclonal antibodies blocked SARS-CoV-2 infection, demonstrating a role of TMEM106B in viral entry. Using X-ray crystallography, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), shows that the luminal domain (LD) of TMEM106B engages the receptor-binding motif of SARS-CoV-2 spike (1). The large loop (RBD@471-491) could anchor TMEM106B, which was then firmly locked by another loop (RBD@444-451) (2). TMEM106B also promotes spike-mediated syncytium formation, suggesting a role of TMEM106B in viral fusion. Findings have identified an ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanism that involves cooperative interactions with the receptors heparan sulfate and TMEM106B (1).
