In silico comparison of spike protein-ACE2 binding affinities across species; significance for the possible origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus [PDF]
The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) has raised important questions about viral origin, mechanisms of zoonotic transfer to humans, whether companion or commercial animals can act as reservoirs for infection, and why there are large variations in SARS-CoV-2 susceptibilities across animal species ...

ACE2: The Only Thing That Matters?
In December 2019, cases of a respiratory disease were reported in Hubei Province, China, caused by a positive-sense RNA virus from the family Coronaviridae Subsequently, the disease was called coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) The outcome of infection with SARS-CoV-2 is highly ...

ACE2 Shedding and the Role in COVID-19 [PDF]
Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a transmembrane glycoprotein, is an important part of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). In the COVID-19 epidemic, it was found to be the receptor of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2).

Immunocytochemical Assessment of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in Nasopharyngeal Swabs from SARS-CoV-2 Patients
Background: SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. It is enveloped by four structural proteins. The entry of the virus into the host cells is mediated by spike protein binding to the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and ...

Soluble ACE2 Is Filtered into the Urine
Key Points Combining unique genetic and surgical models, we demonstrate that both renal and systemic sources contribute to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) detected in the urine in angiotensin II–mediated hypertension.Micropuncture coupled with nanoproteomics confirm detection of ACE2 in ...
