摘要
SARS冠状病毒的棘突S蛋白 ,与细胞受体介导的感染有关。血管紧张素转化酶 2 (ACE2 )是SARS CoVS蛋白的功能性受体 ,人类ACE2酶的细胞外区域由 2个亚基组成 ,其中锌金属肽酶区域可以进一步分成 2个亚域 (I和II) ,形成一个长而深的裂缝 ,环绕裂缝顶端的隆起线可能作为与S 糖蛋白结合的区域。ACE2可以与SARS CoVS蛋白的S3 1 8 5 1 0结合。这将为发展新型SARS疫苗和SARS的预防和治疗提供新的研究方向。
Spike (S) proteins of coronaviruses,that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), associate with cellular receptors to mediate infection of their target cells. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is a functional receptor for the SARS coronavirus. The extracellular region of human ACE2 enzyme is comprised of two domains. The metallopeptidase domain of ACE2 can be further divided into two subdomains (I and II), which form the two sides of a long and deep cleft, the ridges surrounding the cleft at the top of the molecule could serve as a likely binding region for the Sglycoprotein. A 193-amino-acid fragment of the SARS coronavirus S protein (S318-510) efficiently binds angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. These finndings could help in the development of novel vaccine immunogens and therapeutics for prevention and treatment of SARS.
