2022-01-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and several bat coronaviruses employ Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) as their functional receptors 1–4 . However, the receptor for NeoCoV, the closest MERS-CoV relative yet discovered in bats, remains enigmatic 5 . In this study, we unexpectedly found that NeoCoV and its close relative, PDF-2180-CoV, can efficiently use some types of bat Ang...
