Extended Data Fig. 3. Amino acid sequence alignment of the S1 protein of the 2019-nCoV to SARS-CoV and selected bat SARSr-CoVs.

Extended Data Fig. 3

The receptor-binding motif of SARS-CoV and the homologous region of other coronaviruses are indicated by the red box. The key amino acid residues involved in the interaction with human ACE2 are numbered at the top of the aligned sequences. The short insertions in the N-terminal domain of the 2019-nCoV are indicated by the blue boxes. Bat CoV RaTG13 was obtained from R. affinis, found in Yunnan province. Bat CoV ZC45 was obtained from R. sinicus, found in Zhejiang province.
