FURIN and infection: Since several published studies have reported that the cleavage of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein at a putative furin cleavage site (RRARS) at R685/S686 is critical for virus entry [16,23,24], we investigated the efficacy of the furin inhibitor decanoyl-RVKR-CMK and observed a moderate inhibition of infection in the WT SARS-CoV-2-infected cells as determined by immunofluorescence and plaque assays (Figure S3).
