Sequence determinants of human-cell entry identified in ACE2-independent bat sarbecoviruses: A combined laboratory and computational network science approach

Summary: Background: The sarbecovirus subgenus of betacoronaviruses is widely distributed throughout bats and other mammals globally and includes human pathogens, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. The most studied sarbecoviruses use the host protein, ACE2, to infect cells. Curiously, the majority of sarbeco...
