COVID-19 research v0.216 BST2 Rebecca Foulger Classified gene: BST2 as Red List (low evidence)
COVID-19 research v0.216 BST2 Rebecca Foulger Added comment: Comment on list classification: Added to panel as a Red gene: present in latest release of UniProt COVID portal. Plays a role in tethering viruses to the host cell to block viral release. Recent research (PMID:31199522) shows interaction with SARS-CoV spike protein, which inhibits BST2 function and allows viral release.
COVID-19 research v0.216 BST2 Rebecca Foulger Gene: bst2 has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
COVID-19 research v0.215 BST2 Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: BST2: PMID:31199522. Wang et al., 2019 show that SARS-CoV spike (S) glycoprotein antagonises the BST2 tethering of SARS-CoV via BST2 downregulation. The authors show colocalization BST2 and SARS-CoV S protein.
COVID-19 research v0.215 BST2 Rebecca Foulger gene: BST2 was added
gene: BST2 was added to Viral susceptibility. Sources: Literature,Other
Mode of inheritance for gene: BST2 was set to Unknown
Publications for gene: BST2 were set to 31199522
Added comment: BST2 is present in the UniProt COVID portal (11th May 2020 Release): https://covid-19.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/Q10589. BST2 is an IFN-induced antiviral host restriction factor which physically blocks the release of viruses by directly tethering nascent virions to the membranes of infected cells.
