HEK293Tsuggested: NoneBriefly, HEK-293T cells at 70∼80% confluency were transfected with the pCAGGS expression vectors encoding full-length OC43 S with a truncation of the 17 C-terminal residues (to increase cell surface expression levels) along with fusion to a flag tag and the Fc-tagged bovine coronavirus hemagglutinin esterase protein at molar ratios of 8:1. 48 h after transfection, cells were transduced with VSVΔG/Fluc (bearing the Photinus pyralis firefly luciferase) (Kaname et al., 2010) at a multiplicity of infection of 1. HEK-293Tsuggested: NoneFor viral neutralization, Huh7 cells (for MERS-CoV S pseudotyped virus) or stable 293T cells expressing ACE2 (Crawford et al., 2020) (for SARS-CoV S and SARS-CoV-2 S pseudotyped viruses) in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% PenStrep were seeded at 40,000 cells/well into clear bottom white walled 96-well plates and cultured overnight at 37°C. Huh7suggested: None293Tsuggested: RRID:CVCL_H376)Experimental Models: Organisms/Strains Sentences Resources Identification of the B6 broadly neutralizing mAb: Ten-week-old CD-1 mice were injected twice with 50 µg of MERS-CoV S formulated with Adjuplex at weeks 0 and 2 and once with 50 µg of SARS-CoV S formulated with Adjuplex at week 8 at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Antibody Technology Resource. CD-1suggested: NoneThe MERS-CoV S EM structure in complex with 5-N-acetyl neuraminic acid (PDB 6Q04, residue 18-1224) and the B6-MERS-CoV11 (residue 1230-1240) crystal structure were fit into the cryoEM map. B6-MERS-CoV11suggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources Percentage of infectivity was calculated as the ratio of luciferase readout in the presence of mAbs normalized to luciferase readout in the absence of mAb, and half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were determined using 4-parameter logistic regression (GraphPad Prism v8.0). GraphPadsuggested: (GraphPad Prism, RRID:SCR_002798)For the high resolution map, particle images were subjected to Bayesian polishing (Zivanov et al., 2019) before performing non-uniform refinement, defocus refinement and non-uniform refinement again in cryoSPARC (Punjani et al., 2017). cryoSPARCsuggested: (cryoSPARC, RRID:SCR_016501)CryoEM model building and analysis: UCSF Chimera (Pettersen et al., 2004) and Coot (Emsley et al., 2010) were used to fit atomic models into the cryoEM maps. Cootsuggested: (Coot, RRID:SCR_014222)Models were analyzed using MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010), EMringer (Barad et al., 2015), Phenix (Liebschner et al., 2019) and privateer (Agirre et al., 2015) to validate the stereochemistry of both the protein and glycan components.
