Their weak interactions are consistent with the ability to transition from open to the closed ACE2 conformation [28,90]. Indeed, the two subdomains undergo a large hinge-bending motion in which membrane-proximal subdomain remains almost unchanged, while membrane-distal subdomain moves to close the distance between the two subdomains, mimicking the opening/closing movement of a clam shell [90]. ACE2 open conformation likely reflects free state of the enzyme available to catch substrates (or inhibitors), then, when the ACE2 receptor binds to a substrate, the membrane-distal subdomain closes around the substrate (or the inhibitor), finally performing the enzymatic activity [24,90].

ACE2 open conformation likely reflects free state of the enzyme available to catch substrates (or inhibitors), then, when the ACE2 receptor binds to a substrate, the membrane-distal subdomain closes around the substrate (or the inhibitor), finally performing the enzymatic activity [24,90]. Interestingly, in cryo–electron microscopy structures of full-length human ACE2, only the closed/substrate-bound conformation of ACE2 was observed in the spike-ACE2 complexes [28]. Since human ACE2 is assembled on cell surface as a homodimer [28], binding of the spike protein trimer onto ACE2 dimer suggests simultaneous binding of two spike protein trimers to substrate-bound conformer of ACE2 homodimer on plasma membrane. The spike binding sites on ACE2 homodimer are localized above the membrane-distal peptidase subdomain of each ACE2 monomer, nevertheless neither ACE2 shedding nor ACE2 binding to spike proteins have been shown to inhibit ACE2 enzymatic activity [16,17,24]. On the other hand, the S-protein-binding region of membrane-distal ACE2 subdomain is not significantly perturbed by the receptor conformational changes and maintains the ability to associate with soluble spike proteins independently on open/closed conformations [24]. Interestingly, an ACE2 specific inhibitor (MLN-4760) has been shown to induce the closed (inhibitor-bound) ACE2 structure [90] and to retain its inhibitory effects on sACE2 bound to spike proteins [24]."}

Their weak interactions are consistent with the ability to transition from open to the closed ACE2 conformation [28,90]. Indeed, the two subdomains undergo a large hinge-bending motion in which membrane-proximal subdomain remains almost unchanged, while membrane-distal subdomain moves to close the distance between the two subdomains, mimicking the opening/closing movement of a clam shell [90].
