This review emphasizes the role of three factors (sialic acid, proteases, and low pH) in the invasion of TGEV and PEDV into porcine small intestine epithelial cells and provides information with respect to α-CoV infection that brings new insights into virus research. Like TGEV, the crystal structure of a single domain unit in the PRCoV RBD adopts a β-barrel fold with 2 highly twisted β-sheets located in the CTD of the S1 domain and engages in binding to the host cell surface receptor. Low pH in the initial stage of PEDV entry into intestinal epithelial cells allows structural changes and protease activation during binding to surface receptors. ./cache/cord-346872-k5d5793a.txt ./txt/cord-346872-k5d5793a.txt
