Breadth of ACE2 receptor usage predicts host range and antigenic relatedness across bat sarbecoviruses

Figures Abstract Sarbecoviruses interact with their receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), via the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of Spike, the immunodominant target for neutralising antibodies. Understanding the interplay and correlation between ACE2-determined host range and antigenicity is vitally important for understanding the zoonotic potential of related bat sarbecoviruses.
