    Snippet: Mutagenesis of four residues in the S-protein-binding interface of rat ACE2 was sufficient to convert rat ACE2 into a human SARS-CoV receptor, further indicating the importance of this region in determining the host range and specificity of CoVs (Li et al., 2005b) . Considering these findings, we focused on variants within the human ACE2claw S-protein RBD-binding interface and identified protein alterations in 44 codons that 6 resulted in 49 uniq.....
    Document: Mutagenesis of four residues in the S-protein-binding interface of rat ACE2 was sufficient to convert rat ACE2 into a human SARS-CoV receptor, further indicating the importance of this region in determining the host range and specificity of CoVs (Li et al., 2005b) . Considering these findings, we focused on variants within the human ACE2claw S-protein RBD-binding interface and identified protein alterations in 44 codons that 6 resulted in 49 unique variants for a total of 968 allelic variants. This included K26R, the second most frequent human ACE2 protein-altering variant (0.4% allele frequency; allele count=797, gnomAD), S19P, T27A, K31R, N33I, H34R, E35K, E37K, D38V, N51S, N64K, K68E, F72V, T921, Q102P, G326E, G352V, D355N, H378R, Q388L, and Table 2 ). These variants are likely to either increase or decrease the binding affinity of ACE2 to the S-protein and thereby alter the ability of the virus to infect the host cell.
