Interaction Information:

Comment ACE2 can potentially act on the apelin/APJ system. Apelin is produced as a 77 amino acid pre-pro-hormone which is further processed to apelin-36 and apelin-13. Apelin signals through its receptor APJ and was shown to have vasodilatory effects. ACE2 can cleave the carboxyterminal phenylalanine of apelin-36 and apelin-13, thereby removing the vasodilator apelin, and might therefore counteract its own vasodilatory role within the RAS.

Comment In all mouse models generated, ACE2 protects from heart failure. In line with a beneficial effect of ACE2, treatment with Ang 1-7 has been shown to improve myocardial performance, cardiac remodeling, and survival in rodent heart failure models, including ischemia/reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, or hypertension-induced cardiomyopathy. Of note, beside the beneficial effects of ACE2 in cardiovascular diseases, overexpression of ACE2 can have deleterious effects resulting in cardiac fibrosis and arrhythmia.

Comment ACE2 plays a major role in infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome corona-virus (SARS-CoV). This virus first emerged in 2003 and caused respiratory disease which could trigger ARDS and often ended fatal. In the same year ACE2 was identified to be a potential receptor for the SARS-CoVin vitro, which was thereafter genetically confirmed in in vivo mouse studies, providing definitive evidence that ACE2 is the essential SARS receptor in vivo.

SARS-CoV infection

Drugbank entries Show/Hide entries for ACE2
Comment SARS infections are initiated by binding of spike protein trimers of the SARS-CoV to a hydrophobic pocket of the extracellular catalytic domain of ACE2. This interaction enables endocytosis, membrane fusion, and entry of the SARS-CoV into the host cell. Following virus entry, the ACE2 protein is downregulated which leads to local increase of AngII levels, providing a molecular explanation for the frequent development of ARDS during SARS-CoV infections, which was untypical for other coronaviruses.

Comment Collectrin was discovered in 2001 as a protein expressed in the kidney with high sequence homology to the carboxy-terminal end of ACE2. Collectrin and ACE2 both are type 1 transmembrane proteins, but, in contrast to ACE2, Collectrin lacks catalytic activity. The collectrin gene is located on the X chromosome immediately upstream of the ace2 gene in all species examined and both genes share similar transcription factor binding sites. Collectrin was shown to be under transcriptional control of hepatocyte nuclear factor alpha (HNF-1alpha), which is involved in pancreatic insulin secretion. In vitro studies and in vivo overexpression experiments supported a role for Collectrin in insulin exocytosis through interaction with the SNARE complex. However, Collectrin deficient mice did not exhibit impaired insulin secretion.
