Description Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) elicited a worldwide pandemic since the late 2019. Till now, it has brought about 640 million confirmed cases, leading to more than 6.6 million deaths. Five variants of concern (VOCs) were tracked one after another and characterized subsequently. However, it is still hard to predict the next dominant lineage due to the rapid evolution of its spike (S) glycoprotein, which influenced the binding activity to cellular receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and drifted the presenting epitope to humoral immune response. Here, we established a robust mammalian cell-surface-display platform for studying the affinity between S and ACE2 in a large-scale manner. Lentivirus library of S variants was generated via in-silico chip synthesis following by site-directed saturation mutagenesis, and the enriched candidates were acquired through singe-cell fluorescence sorting and analyzed by the third-generation DNA sequencing technologies. The mutational landscape provides a blueprint for understanding the key residues of S anchor to ACE2.
