Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 causes the recent global COVID-19 public health emergency. ACE2 is the receptor for both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. To predict the potential host range of SARS-CoV-2, we analyzed the key residues of ACE2 for recognizing S protein. We found that most of the selected mammals including pets (dog and cat), pangolin and Circetidae mammals remained the most of key residues for association with S protein from SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. The interaction interface between cat/dog/pangolin/Chinese hamster ACE2 and SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 S protein was simulated through homology modeling. We identified that N82 in ACE2 showed a closer contact with SARS-CoV-2 S protein than M82 in human ACE2. Our finding will provide important insights into the host range of SARS-CoV-2 and a new strategy to design an optimized ACE2 for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

<p>SARS-CoV-2 causes the recent global COVID-19 public health emergency. ACE2 is the receptor for both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. To predict the potential host range of SARS-CoV-2, we analyzed the key residues of ACE2 for recognizing S protein. We found that most of the selected mammals including pets (dog and cat), pangolin and

mammals remained the most of key residues for association with S protein from SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. The interaction interface between cat/dog/pangolin/Chinese hamster ACE2 and SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 S protein was simulated through homology modeling. We identified that N82 in ACE2 showed a closer contact with SARS-CoV-2 S protein than M82 in human ACE2. Our finding will provide important insights into the host range of SARS-CoV-2 and a new strategy to design an optimized ACE2 for SARS-CoV-2 infection.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p id="p0025">Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was reported from Wuhan city, Hubei province of China, has caused over 78,000 human infections and more than 2700 deaths (as of February 25, 2020) [
<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the pathogen of COVID-19 [
<xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>
]. After SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 has become the third coronavirus that causes severe respiratory disease and human death [
<xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
].</p>
<p id="p0030">Belonging to the subgenus sarbecvirus of
<italic>Coronaviridae</italic>
, both SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV are human SARS-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV). Its genome is a single-stranded RNA composed of about 30 kb nucleotides. SARS-CoV-2 encodes at least four major structural proteins, namely spike protein (S), membrane protein (M), envelope protein (E), and nucleocapsid protein (N) [
<xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. S protein, which is a type I glycoprotein, protrudes from the surface of the virus and can contact the host cell earlier. S protein has attracted great attention because of its function in receptor binding.</p>
<p id="p0035">Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) binds to the receptor-binding motif (RBM) in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV and functions as a receptor for SARS-CoV [
<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. ACE2 is widely distributed in heart, liver, testis, kidney, intestine and other tissues. It has the physiological functions of regulating heart and kidney function and controlling blood pressure [
<xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. Recently, it has been found that human ACE2 promoted the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the cells [
<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. RBD domain of SARS-CoV-2 interacts with human ACE2. Thus, ACE2 is defined as the receptor for SARS-CoV-2.</p>
<p id="p0040">The specificity of the interaction between virus and receptor determines the host tropism and host range. The origin of SARS-CoV-2 is presumed to be bat [
<xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
]. However, the intermediate host is not clear, and some studies suggest that pangolin is involved in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 [
<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. It is not clear which mammals are involved in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and which animals may be infected by SARS-CoV-2. By sequence alignment of key amino acids binding to RBD in ACE2, the interaction between RBD of SARS-CoV-2/SARS-CoV and mammalian ACE2 was predicted. Based on the potential interaction between S protein and mammalian ACE2, it was speculated that SARS-CoV-2/SARS-CoV preserved the ability to infect many mammals including cat, dog, pangolin and Chinese hamster. From the structure stimulation, we identified N82 in ACE2 show closer contact with F486 of SARS-CoV-2 S protein compared with M82 of ACE2.</p>

<title>Sequence alignment of RBM from SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV</title>
<p id="p0060">Human ACE2 is the receptor for both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. According to the literature [
<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
], the key amino acids (AAs) in the S protein of SARS-CoV interacting with human ACE2 are Y442, L472, N479, D480, T487, Y491 [
<xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. We compared the RBM in S protein of SARS-CoV-2 with that of SARS-CoV (
<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>
A). These amino acids corresponding to SARS-CoV-2 are L455, F486, Q493, S494, N501 and Y505 (
<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>

(A) Sequence alignment of RBM region of S protein from SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. ▲ represents the six key amino acids in the S protein interacting with human ACE2. For SARS-CoV, they are Y442, L472, N479, D480, T487 and Y491. The S protein sequence of SARS-CoV-2 comes from YP_009724390.1, and the S protein sequence of SARS-CoV comes from NP_828851.1. (B) Alignment of the structure of ACE2 recognition of RBD from SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV. Human ACE2 (hACE2), SARS-CoV-2 RBD, and SARS-CoV RBD are in orange red, blue, and green, respectively.

Interaction interface of SARSr-CoV RBD and cat/dog/pangolin/Chinese hamster ACE2 confirmed the potential interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and cat/dog/pangolin/Chinese hamster ACE2, indicating that these ACE2 could support SARS-CoV-2 entry. The AA in 82 position of human ACE2 is M82, while the corresponding AA in cat, dog, pangolin and Chinese hamster ACE2 is T82, T81, N82 and N82, respectively. The distance between F486 of SARS-CoV-2 S protein and the corresponding AA in ACE2 is 3.753Å for human (

lose the capability to associate with S protein (
<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). These mammals could be ruled out from the potential host list for SARS-CoV-2. We found that S protein may bind to ACE2 from some wild mammals, which suggests that we should investigate whether these animals may be intermediate hosts for SARS-CoV-2. It has been reported that the RBM region in S protein of pangolin coronavirus is similar to that of S protein of SARS-CoV-2 [
<xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
,
<xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
], which may be involved in the recombination of SARS-CoV-2. We identified that N82 of pangolin ACE2 showed closer contact with RBD than human ACE2 (
<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>
C), indicating that pangolin ACE2 might show better affinity to SARS-CoV-2. This finding further supports the hypothesis that pangolin is involved in SARS-CoV-2 evolution. In current study, only a limited list of wild mammals is covered. In the future, we should select more mammals for study. Although no SARS-CoV-2 has been found in domestic cats and dogs, cat/dog ACE2 may bind to S protein of SARS-CoV-2. In the future, we should pay attention to monitoring whether domestic cats and dogs could be infected by SARS-CoV-2.</p>
<p id="p0090">Animal model is an important tool in the study of infectious diseases. ACE2 of mice cannot interact with SARS-CoV-2, so it cannot be used as animal model of SARS-CoV-2 directly. Some studies have generated mice transfected with human ACE2 as the models to study SARS-CoV [
<xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
], and these mice can also be used as animal models for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Interestingly, we identified that N82 in ACE2 is closer to RBD than M82 (
<xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>
C and D), indicating a novel strategy to design an optimized ACE2 for SARS-CoV-2 infection. We speculated that small peptide based on N82 of ACE2 might show higher affinity to SARS-CoV-2 RBD. We proposed that if M82 in human ACE2 was mutated to N82, the modified human ACE2 will enhance SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the future, those ideas will be tested in cell culture and animal model. We noticed that the ACE2 proteins from
<italic>Circetidae</italic>
(
<italic>Mesocricetus auratus, Phodopus campbelli</italic>
,
<italic>Ictidomys tridecemlineatus</italic>
, and
<italic>Cricetulus griseus</italic>
) are capable to recognize RBD.
<italic>Mesocricetus auratus</italic>
(golden hamster) and
<italic>Cricetulus griseus</italic>
(Chinese hamster) are experimental animals and our finding indicates the possibility to develop small animal models for SARS-CoV-2 infection using Chinese hamster and golden hamster.</p>
