Citation | Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2026Title: A structural and mechanistic atlas of NTD antibody neutralization and immune escape across SARS-CoV-2 prototype and its (sub-)variants. Authors: Jianjie Zhou / Wenyu Li / Xiaoyun Wang / Junqing Sun / Shuxin Guo / Xiaoyu Rong / Zhou Tong / Lianpan Dai / William Jun Liu / Jianxun Qi / George Fu Gao / Qihui Wang / ![]() Abstract: The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) is a critical antibody target, yet its epitope organization, neutralization mechanisms, and immune evasion strategies remain incompletely ...The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) is a critical antibody target, yet its epitope organization, neutralization mechanisms, and immune evasion strategies remain incompletely resolved. Here, we classify NTD antibodies into nine spatially distinct classes (designated as NTD-1 to NTD-9), including a cryptic epitope defined here (NTD-8). Mechanistic studies reveal that NTD-5 and NTD-9 antibodies neutralize by inducing S1 shedding, thereby extending this mechanism to selected NTD-directed antibodies. Format profiling shows that while most NTD antibodies require bivalency, selected antibodies from NTD-3, NTD-5, and NTD-9 retain neutralizing activity in Fab form. Profiling 41 antibodies across prototype, Delta, and 17 Omicron subvariants defines an epitope-resolved escape landscape and enables dissection of three convergent evasion strategies: contact residue disruption, glycan shielding, and conformational remodeling. Notably, the KP.3.1.1 subvariant uses a dual escape mechanism in which ∆S31 introduces N30 glycosylation and substantially remodels the S27-R34 region, undermining recognition by both NTD-5 and NTD-9 antibodies. These findings provide a structural and mechanistic framework for rational vaccine and antibody design resilient to antigenic drift. | |||||||||
