    Proteintech mouse monoclonal antibody against ace2
    Glycan profiles of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 and the <t>ACE2</t> receptor. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the process of preparing antibody-overlay lectin microarrays. (B, C) Scanned images were obtained for the analysis of glycopatterns from the SARS-CoV-2-S1 (B) and ACE2 (C). HEK293-expressing recombinant proteins of S1 and ACE2 were incubated with lectin microarrays. Subsequently, the microarrays were incubated with biotin-labeled primary antibodies and Cy3-labeled streptavidin. The representative lectins that recognized β1-4 galactosylated glycans (ECA and MAL-I), agalactosylated glycans (GSL-II and STL), bisected and bi-antennary N-glycans (PHA-E), oligo-mannose type N-glycans (ConA and HHL), fucosylation (PSA and LCA) and α-2,3 linked sialic acid (MAL-II) were marked with white frames. (D, E) Analysis of glycopatterns on S1 (D) and ACE2 (E). The lectins were classified according to their glycan binding preferences. The NFIs of each lectin were obtained from three biological replicates. The proportion of main types of glycans was calculated by diverging the sum of the NFIs of the lectins that recognized this type of glycan by the total NFIs of all lectins.

    Role of N-glycans in the interaction between S1 and ACE2. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the process of manufacturing the SRAS-CoV-2-related recombinant protein microarrays. (B, C) The N-glycans on S1 of SARS-CoV-2/1 and ACE2 were removed by PNGase F glycosidase. The roles of N-glycans in the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2-S1 /ACE2 (B) and the SARS-CoV-1-S1/ACE2 (C) were evaluated using protein microarrays. Statistical analysis of the relative fluorescence intensities was conducted by comparing the PNGase F-treated S1 and ACE2 to the intact glycosylated protein using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett multiple comparisons. The data were obtained from three biological replicates and presented as the mean ± SD (error bars), and the p values were indicated. (D) MD simulation of the interaction between the trimeric S protein and ACE2. The distances between the N-glycosites and the center of the binding interface (represented by the green globule) within 50 Å were marked with red spheres. Other N-glycosites were marked with yellow spheres. (E) The interactions of glycans at specific sites and GRDs (marked with a red frame) may be involved in the binding of the S protein to ACE2. (F) MD simulated the interactions of glycans at specific sites and GRDs. The distances between the terminal glycans on these sites and the three GRDs on the ACE and S1 subunit were monitored during a 100 ns MD simulation. The distances of N546-GRD1, N322-GRD2, and N53-GRD2 fluctuated between 1 and 15 Å, while the distances of N343-GRD3 and N165-GRD3 fluctuated between 20 and 35 Å.

    β1-4 galactosylated N-glycans of ACE2 mediated the binding of S1 of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. (A) Molecular docking analysis of S1 and ACE2 with various saccharides. The potential binding capacities of S1 of SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan-Hu-1 strain, wild type) and its variants (Delta and Omicron), as well as ACE2, to various saccharides were predicted by molecular docking analysis. The saccharides were listed in columns, S1 and ACE2 were listed in rows. The different binding abilities were represented by the values of binding free energy, which were indicated by the color of each square: red: high affinity, blue: low affinity, Xyl: xylose, Glc: glucose; Man: mannose; GlcNAc: N-acetylglucosamine, GalNAc: N-acetylgalactosamine; SA: sialic acid. (B) Validation of β1-4 galactosylation level in intact and de-β1-4galactosylated ACE2. After β1-4 galactosidase treatment, the level of β1-4 galactosylation on ACE2 was detected by lectin blotting of MAL-I. The protein level of ACE2 served as the control. (C) Scanning images of protein microarrays incubated with 1 μg of intact or de-β1-4galactosylated ACE2. (D) Effect of β1-4 galactosylation of ACE2 on the binding of S1 to ACE2. The relative fluorescence intensities were statistically analyzed by comparing the de-β1-4galactosylated ACE2 to intact ACE2 using an unpaired t test with Welch's correction. The data were obtained from three biological replicates and presented as the mean ± SD (error bars), and the p values were indicated.

    Figure 1. (a) The life cycle of SARS-CoV-2 virus: (1) SARS-CoV-2 attaches to the surface of a human cell via interactions between S protein and <t>ACE2</t> receptor. (2) After membrane fusion, it undergoes endocytosis and diffuses into the inner space of the human cell. (3) In the uncoating process, the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 is released into cytoplasm of human cell. (4) Translation of RNA takes places with the aid of a series of proteins. (5) RNA synthesis and structural protein translation lead to the assembling of a new virus. (6) The matured new virus leaves the host cell via exocytosis. Several compounds were used to treat SARS-CoV-2 via different mechanisms. Both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine were used to stop uncoating; lopinavir was used to stop proteolysis; and both remdesivir and favipiravir were used to stop RNA synthesis.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Glycan profiles of the SARS-CoV-2 S1 and the ACE2 receptor. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the process of preparing antibody-overlay lectin microarrays. (B, C) Scanned images were obtained for the analysis of glycopatterns from the SARS-CoV-2-S1 (B) and ACE2 (C). HEK293-expressing recombinant proteins of S1 and ACE2 were incubated with lectin microarrays. Subsequently, the microarrays were incubated with biotin-labeled primary antibodies and Cy3-labeled streptavidin. The representative lectins that recognized β1-4 galactosylated glycans (ECA and MAL-I), agalactosylated glycans (GSL-II and STL), bisected and bi-antennary N-glycans (PHA-E), oligo-mannose type N-glycans (ConA and HHL), fucosylation (PSA and LCA) and α-2,3 linked sialic acid (MAL-II) were marked with white frames. (D, E) Analysis of glycopatterns on S1 (D) and ACE2 (E). The lectins were classified according to their glycan binding preferences. The NFIs of each lectin were obtained from three biological replicates. The proportion of main types of glycans was calculated by diverging the sum of the NFIs of the lectins that recognized this type of glycan by the total NFIs of all lectins.

    Role of N-glycans in the interaction between S1 and ACE2. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the process of manufacturing the SRAS-CoV-2-related recombinant protein microarrays. (B, C) The N-glycans on S1 of SARS-CoV-2/1 and ACE2 were removed by PNGase F glycosidase. The roles of N-glycans in the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2-S1 /ACE2 (B) and the SARS-CoV-1-S1/ACE2 (C) were evaluated using protein microarrays. Statistical analysis of the relative fluorescence intensities was conducted by comparing the PNGase F-treated S1 and ACE2 to the intact glycosylated protein using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett multiple comparisons. The data were obtained from three biological replicates and presented as the mean ± SD (error bars), and the p values were indicated. (D) MD simulation of the interaction between the trimeric S protein and ACE2. The distances between the N-glycosites and the center of the binding interface (represented by the green globule) within 50 Å were marked with red spheres. Other N-glycosites were marked with yellow spheres. (E) The interactions of glycans at specific sites and GRDs (marked with a red frame) may be involved in the binding of the S protein to ACE2. (F) MD simulated the interactions of glycans at specific sites and GRDs. The distances between the terminal glycans on these sites and the three GRDs on the ACE and S1 subunit were monitored during a 100 ns MD simulation. The distances of N546-GRD1, N322-GRD2, and N53-GRD2 fluctuated between 1 and 15 Å, while the distances of N343-GRD3 and N165-GRD3 fluctuated between 20 and 35 Å.

ACE2-GFP stably expressing 293T cells were preincubated with indicated concentrations of drugs for 2 h and subsequently inoculated with SARS-2-S pseudotyped particles for an additional 3 h. The medium with pseudotyped particles was then removed, and cells were recultured in fresh medium for 40 h. Luciferase activity assay was conducted to analyze the virus entry efficiency. (b) Inhibition of SARS-2-S pseudotyped viruses entry into ACE2-GFP transfected 293T cells. 293T cells transfected with ACE2-GFP for 24 h were preincubated with indicated drugs for 1 h, and then further inoculated with SARS-2-S pseudotyped viruses for additional 2 h in the presence of drugs. The cell entry of SARS-2-S pseudotyped viruses were examined by immunofluorescence staining using anti-FLAG antibodies. (c,d), Concentration- and time-dependent inhibitory effects of romidepsin on host cell entry of SARS-2-S pseudotyped particles. 293T cells transfected with ACE2-GFP were treated with increased doses of romidepsin (c) or different time of drug treatment (d). The cell entry of SARS-2-S pseudotyped viruses were detected by anti-FLAG staining. (e) Immunofluorescence staining shows that host cell entry of SARS-S pseudotyped particles was blocked by romidepsin. 293T cells transfected with ACE2-GFP were treated as in (b) with the replacement of SARS-2-S pseudotyped particles as SARS-S pseudotyped particles. The anti-FLAG immunofluorescence staining images were as shown. (f) Luciferase activity assay shows that host cell (ACE2-GFP stably expressing 293T) entry of SARS-S pseudotyped particles was blocked by romidepsin. ACE2-GFP stably expressing 293T cells were preincubated for 1 h with an increased dose of Romidepsin, then inoculated with SARS-S pseudotyped viruses for an additional 3 h, followed by Luciferase activity assay as in panel a at 40 h postinoculation. For luciferase activity assay in panels a and f, the average value of three independent experiments was calculated with triplicate samples. Error bars indicate SEM. Statistical significance was tested by two-way ANOVA with Dunnett post-test. Groups of cells with no drug treatment were used as controls.

    Figure 4. Screen for clinically used HDAC inhibitors to suppress SARS-2-S-driven host cell entry. (a) Luciferase activity assay-based screening of clinically used HDAC inhibitors for suppressing SARS-2-S pseudovirus cell entry. ACE2-GFP stably expressed 293T cells were preincubated with the increased dose of indicated clinical drugs for 2 h and subsequently inoculated with SARS-2-S pseudotyped particles for 3 h, then further cultured for an additional 40 h with fresh medium. Luciferase activity in each cell lysate was examined to analyze the entry efficiency of SARS-2-S pseudovirus. The average value from three independent experiments with triplicate samples was calculated. Error bars indicate SEM. Statistical significance was tested by two-way ANOVA with Dunnett post-test. Cells without drug treatment were used as controls. (b) Immunofluorescence staining reveals that four out of 18 H drugs can efficiently inhibit cell entry of SARS-2-S pseudotype particles. ACE2-GFP transfected 293T cells were pretreated with the indicated drug for 1 h and subsequently inoculated with SARS-2-S pseudotyped particles for an additional 2 h. Cells were fixed and stained with antibodies against FLAG to detect the intracellular SARS-2-S pseudovirus. Green, ACE2-GFP; red, FLAG; blue, DAPI. Scale bar is 5 μm. Quantification of the fluorescence intensity along the line across the perinuclear region was shown at the bottom. Green line, ACE2- GFP; red line, FLAG. The two-head arrows indicate the perinuclear region where the ACE2-GFP signal was highest. (c) Analysis of the distribution of internalized pseudotyped particles. Interspace that is within 2 μm from the cellular boundary is considered as the edge area. Percent ratio of edge signaling was calculated as edge area signal/total area signal × 100. Thirty cells from each group were used for quantification.
