ACE2 from Pipistrellus abramus bats is a receptor for HKU5 coronaviruses - Nature Communications This work shows that receptor use in merbecovirus is clade-specific by clustering them into clades based on the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of their spike proteins. While MERS-CoV and its close rela...
