Visualizing the Rapid Degradation and Differential Binding of Membrane-Bound Human ACE2 Protein Upon Binding and Internalization of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD Protein
2024-03-08
Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 betacoronavirus infects humans through binding the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein that lines the nasal cavity and lungs, followed by import into a cell utilizing the Transmembrane Protease, Serine 2 (TMPRSS2) cofactor. ACE2 binding is mediated by an approximately 200-residue portion of the SARS-CoV-2 extracellular spike protein, the receptor binding domain (RBD). Robust interactions...
