physiological function | ACE2 processing by TMPRSS2 or HAT is required for augmentation of SARS-S-driven entry. In contrast, ACE2 cleavage is dispensable for activation of the viral S protein. Expression of TMPRSS2 increases cellular uptake of soluble SARS-S. TMPRSS2 competes with the metalloprotease ADAM17 for ACE2 processing, but only cleavage by TMPRSS2 results in augmented SARS-S-driven entry | Homo sapiens |
