* I'll be the first to admit that I'm rather surprised to see that spike cleaved by furin - that's not a canonical site and certainly odd looking. But the experiments show cleavage clearly, so it is what it is.
Especially surprising given that it's got RLHKR at the usual S1/S2 spot, followed shortly thereafter by another R. The whole virus seems a bit of a strange beast though. Haven't looked at spike yet, but put it in a BetaCoV E alignment, & it's basically halfway between the sarbeco & merbecos.
This is a great look at how a human mind is trained and prepared to tackle unsolved math. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/s...

Hey look another furin cleavage site (FCS) discovered in a coronavirus. BRZ batCoV was pulled out of bat in Brazil. "BRZ batCoV is sufficiently genetically distinct to represent a novel subgenus of betacoronaviruses"
Talking of which, I just read @philippmarkolin.eurosky.socialβs book βLab Leak Fever,β which I highly recommend Itβs a gripping book, laying out the multiple strands of researchβepidemiological, spatial, phylogeneticβthat, over time, piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle, point to zoonotic origins
Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH@gavinyamey.bsky.social Β· yesterdayLab leak folks argue the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 is a "smoking gun" that "proves" the virus was made in a lab; they say the FCS isn't seen in nature But it *is* seen in nature & *has* been found in coronaviruses The FCS in BRZ batCoV only differs by a single amino acid compared to the one in SARS-CoV-2!
