Mutants of human ACE2 differentially promote SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 spike mediated infection

SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 encode spike proteins that bind human ACE2 on the cell surface to enter target cells during infection. A small fraction of humans encode variants of ACE2, thus altering the biochemical properties at the protein interaction interface. These and other ACE2 coding mutants can re...
