  • The possibilities of cross-species transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) between humans and important livestock species are not yet known. Herein, we used the structural and genetic alignment and surface potential analysis of the amino acid (aa) in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), tyrosine kinase receptor UFO (AXL), and neuropilin 1 (NRP1) in different species with substantial public health importance. The residues interfacing with the N-terminal domain (NTD) or receptor-binding domain (RBD) of S were aligned to screen the critical aa sites that determined the susceptibility of the SARS-CoV-2 to the host. We found that AXL and NRP1 proteins might be used as the receptors of SARS-CoV-2 in bovines. However, ACE2 protein may not be considered to be involved in the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs in cattle because the key residues of the ACE2-S-binding interface were different from those in known susceptible species. This study indicated that emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants potentially expand species tropism to bovines through AXL and NRP1 proteins.
