ACE2 binding is an ancestral and evolvable trait of sarbecoviruses

2021-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Two different sarbecoviruses have caused major human outbreaks in the last two decades 1,2 . Both these sarbecoviruses, SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, engage ACE2 via the spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) 2–6 . However, binding to ACE2 orthologs from humans, bats, and other species has been observed only sporadically among the broader diversity of bat sarbecoviruses 7–11 . Here, we use high-throughput assays 12...
