Characterization of key spike RBD residues influencing SARS-CoV-2 variant adaptation to avian ACE2 by Weitong Yao, Yujun Li, Huize Sun, Danting Ma, Xiaojuan Tang, Xiaojuan Tang, Aiping Zeng, Fang Huang

“…Whereas, a triple-residue reversal mutant (S446G, S496G, H505Y) restored ACE2 binding and enabled efficient viral entry. Additionally, several key residues within RBD were characterized as the determinant of its affinity to avian ACE2.DiscussionOur findings reveal that higher mutation rates in emerging variants might lead to future cross-species receptor usage or even spillover. …”
