Summary
ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2, HGNC:13557) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.2, encoding Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (Q9BYF1). Essential counter-regulatory carboxypeptidase of the renin-angiotensin hormone system that is a critical regulator of blood volume, systemic vascular resistance, and thus cardiovascular homeostasis.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme family of dipeptidyl carboxydipeptidases and has considerable homology to human angiotensin 1 converting enzyme. This secreted protein catalyzes the cleavage of angiotensin I into angiotensin 1-9, and angiotensin II into the vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. ACE2 is known to be expressed in various human organs, and its organ- and cell-specific expression suggests that it may play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function, as well as fertility. In addition, the encoded protein is a functional receptor for the spike glycoprotein of the human coronavirus HCoV-NL63 and the human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the latter is the causative agent of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Multiple splice variants have been found for this gene and the dACE2 (or MIRb-ACE2) splice variant has been found to be interferon inducible.

Function. Essential counter-regulatory carboxypeptidase of the renin-angiotensin hormone system that is a critical regulator of blood volume, systemic vascular resistance, and thus cardiovascular homeostasis. Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin 1-9, a nine-amino acid peptide with anti-hypertrophic effects in cardiomyocytes, and angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7, which then acts as a beneficial vasodilator and anti-proliferation agent, counterbalancing the actions of the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Also removes the C-terminal residue from three other vasoactive peptides, neurotensin, kinetensin, and des-Arg bradykinin, but is not active on bradykinin. Also cleaves other biological peptides, such as apelins (apelin-13, [Pyr1]apelin-13, apelin-17, apelin-36), casomorphins (beta-casomorphin-7, neocasomorphin) and dynorphin A with high efficiency. In addition, ACE2 C-terminus is homologous to collectrin and is responsible for the trafficking of the neutral amino acid transporter SL6A19 to the plasma membrane of gut epithelial cells via direct interaction, regulating its expression on the cell surface and its catalytic activity. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, as well as human coronavirus NL63/HCoV-NL63. Non-functional as a carboxypeptidase. (Microbial infection) Non-functional as a receptor for human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with the catalytically active form of TMPRSS2. Interacts with SLC6A19; this interaction is essential for expression and function of SLC6A19 in intestine. Interacts with ITGA5:ITGB1. Probably interacts (via endocytic sorting signal motif) with AP2M1; the interaction is inhibited by phosphorylation of Tyr-781. Interacts (via PDZ-binding motif) with NHERF1 (via PDZ domains); the interaction may enhance ACE2 membrane residence. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus/SARS-CoV spike protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (via RBD domain). (Microbial infection) Interacts with human coronavirus NL63 spike protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human coronavirus NL63/HCoV-NL63 spike glycoprotein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; the interaction is increased by AVP/Arg-vasopressin with which they may form a complex.
Subcellular location. Secreted Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Cell projection. Cilium. Apical cell membrane Apical cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in endothelial cells from small and large arteries, and in arterial smooth muscle cells (at protein level). Expressed in enterocytes of the small intestine, Leydig cells and Sertoli cells (at protein level). Expressed in the renal proximal tubule and the small intestine (at protein level). Expressed in heart, kidney, testis, and gastrointestinal system (at protein level). In lung, expressed at low levels in some alveolar type 2 cells, the expression seems to be individual-specific (at protein level). Expressed in nasal epithelial cells (at protein level). Coexpressed with TMPRSS2 within some lung alveolar type 2 cells, ileal absorptive enterocytes, intestinal epithelial cells, cornea, gallbladder and nasal goblet secretory cells. Coexpressed with TMPRSS4 within mature enterocytes. Expressed in nasal and bronchial epithelial cells (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylation on Asn-90 may limit SARS infectivity. Proteolytic cleavage by ADAM17 generates a secreted form. Also cleaved by serine proteases: TMPRSS2, TMPRSS11D and HPN/TMPRSS1. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Tyr-781 probably inhibits interaction with AP2M1 and enables interactions with proteins containing SH2 domains. Ubiquitinated. Ubiquitinated on Lys-788 via ‘Lys-48’-linked ubiquitin. ‘Lys-48’-linked deubiquitinated by USP50 on the Lys-788; leading to its stabilization.
Activity regulation. Regulated by chloride and fluoride, but not bromide. Chloride increases angiotensin I and decreases angiotensin II cleavage. Inhibited by MLN-4760, cFP_Leu, and EDTA, but not by the ACE inhibitors lisinopril, captopril and enalaprilat. Highly potent and selective in vitro ACE2 inhibitors were identified.
Cofactor. Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. Binds 1 Cl(-) ion per subunit.
Domain organisation. The extracellular region of the ACE2 enzyme is composed of two domains. The first is a zinc metallopeptidase domain (residues 19-611). The second domain is located at the C-terminus (residues 612-740) and is 48% identical to human collectrin. The cytoplasmic tail contains several linear motifs such as LIR, PDZ-binding, PTB and endocytic sorting signal motifs that would allow interaction with proteins that mediate endocytic trafficking and autophagy.
Induction. Up-regulated in failing heart. Expression is induced by IFNA and IFNG. Exposure to cigarette smoke increases expression in lungs. Expression is decreased in nasal and bronchial epithelium of individuals with allergy after allergen challenge. IL13 stimulation decreases expression in nasal and bronchial epithelium. Not induced by interferons such as IFNA, IFNB and IFNG. Expression is induced by interferons such as IFNA, IFNB and IFNG. It seems that isoform 2 is an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) but not isoform 1. (Microbial infection) In airway epithelial cells, expression is increased upon influenza A virus infection. (Microbial infection) In airway epithelial cells, expression is induced by viruses such rhinoviruses and influenza virus. (Microbial infection) Induced by human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase M2 family.
