Broad receptor engagement of an emerging global coronavirus may potentiate its diverse cross-species transmissibility
14 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Significance Coronaviruses exhibit a propensity for interspecies transmission, with SARS- and MERS-coronaviruses as notable examples. Cross-species transmission by coronaviruses is foremost determined by the virus’ ability to bind receptors of new hosts. We here report that the recently identified, yet globally distributed porcine deltacoronavirus employs host aminopeptidase N (APN) as an entry receptor via S...
