The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein has a broad tropism for mammalian ACE2 proteins. by Carina Conceicao, Nazia Thakur, Stacey Human, James T Kelly, Leanne Logan, Dagmara Bialy, Sushant Bhat, Phoebe Stevenson-Leggett, Adrian K Zagrajek, Philippa Hollinghurst, Michal Varga, Christina Tsirigoti, Matthew Tully, Chris Chiu, Katy Moffat, Adrian Paul Silesian, John A Hammond, Helena J Maier, Erica Bickerton, Holly Shelton, Isabelle Dietrich, Stephen C Graham, Dalan Bailey

“…Using a combination of surrogate entry assays and live virus, we demonstrate that, in addition to human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 has a broad host tropism for mammalian ACE2 receptors, despite divergence in the amino acids at the Spike receptor binding site on these proteins. Of the 22 different hosts we investigated, ACE2 proteins from dog, cat, and cattle were the most permissive to SARS-CoV-2, while bat and bird ACE2 proteins were the least efficiently used receptors. …”
