Human ACE2 receptor polymorphisms and altered susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2

Human ACE2 receptor polymorphisms and altered susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2

Suryamohan, Diwanji, Stawiski et al. identify natural ACE2 variants that are predicted to alter virus–host interactions. They find that soluble ACE2 K26R and T92I variants are more effective in blocking the entry of SARS-CoV-2 S-protein pseudotyped virus, compared to wild-type ACE2. This study sugge...
