Before the Metchnikoff excerpts, it is mandatory to link with current developments @Kevin_McKernan so as to make the sex-determining/transgender connections to furin and synchronize SARS2 origin investigations. Therefore, the pertinent article is this one, posted on 8 Ap 2023:
'...."SARS2 Awakens Ancient Retroviral Genes and the Expression of Pro-Inflammatory HERV-W Envelope Protein in COVID-19 Patients"....'
This is the Rhinolophus bat link to sex-determination/transgenderism genetics. It also links to E.C. Holmes (Australia) for the Oxford Dept. of Zoology, Holmes being the first to receive the published sequence of SARS-CoV-2 virus:
'....Publications: Jul 2020, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York; Howard Hughes; University of Greifswald, Germany; Dept. Zoology, Oxford; Max Planck Institute, Dresden; University College, Dublin; Australian National University, Canberra; Smithsonian Tropical Research, Panama; Laboratory of Neurogenetics, Rockefeller Institute; U. Montpelier, France.
'....LRRC70 broadly expressed potentiates cellular responses to multiple cytokines and amplifies NF-kappaB activation by bacterial lipopolysaccharides....an ERV found in Rhinolophus best matches the ENV protein of an avian endogenous virus, which belongs to the alpharetrovirus group.
....two families of foamy retroviruses belonging to the spumaretroviruses in Rhinolophus (confirming the presence of endogenous spumaretroviruses in this species)....'
So analysis of this protein shows an anti-mullerian hormone N-terminal region, 52-55 RSLR, which is a furin-like sequence. Within the same anti-mullerian domain, there is also a glycine zipper @ 84-88 GEIRG.
There are three more furin-like sites and three more glycine zippers in this protein from the bat, Rhinolophus, though other species of this genus show no publications for them.
This protein is, of course, linked to Worobey for coelacanth spumaretrovirus from the Mozambique Trench, where Wuhan bat lady, Zheng-li Shi attended the conference in that country.
Thus the HERV-W will link this anti-mullerian protein above, to NF-kappaB, and the cytokines of infection posted by McKernan on 8 Ap.
We will next precisely link a furin cleavage site to a mullerian-inhibiting protein to further strengthen this sex-determining trajectory:
'....mullerian-inhibiting factor 448-452 RAQRS.'
Notice that we have already posted on the "ancestral" serine (S) here at USMB. The actual cleavage site is the arginine (R) @ position 451, next to the serine (S). There is also another furin-like sequence @ 441-444: RDPR and a glycine zipper (prion protein misfolding, etc.) @ 413-417: GGPGG.

Six reference-quality genomes reveal evolution of bat adaptations - PubMed
Bats possess extraordinary adaptations, including flight, echolocation, extreme longevity and unique immunity. High-quality genomes are crucial for understanding the molecular basis and evolution of these traits. Here we incorporated long-read sequencing and state-of-the-art scaffolding protocols …
