Ezrin interacts with the SARS coronavirus Spike protein and restrains infection at the entry stage.

<h4>Background</h4>Entry of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and its envelope fusion with host cell membrane are controlled by a series of complex molecular mechanisms, largely dependent on the viral envelope glycoprotein Spike (S). There are still many unknowns o...
