Posttranslational Modification Comment Organism
glycoprotein five glycans in ACE2 are in close proximity to the receptor-binding domain (RBD). N90, and to a lesser extent N322, of ACE2 establish contacts with RBD. N53 can form a large number of contacts with the RBD residues, whereas the RBD glycan N343 makes very few contacts with ACE2's head protein residues or glycans. Structural basis for the negative effect of glycan of N90 on receptor-binding domain (RBD) binding. Glycan N53 is involved in ACE2 homodimer and ACE2-RBD heterodimer contacts Homo sapiens
