Abstract
ABSTRACT The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent for the COVID-19 pandemic. Its proteome is typically separated into three classes of proteins: (1) Structural proteins which facilitate the transport and host cell infiltration of the viral RNA, (2) non-structural proteins which are thought to be essential for the viral life cycle and are all produced from open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) on the RNA, and (3) everything else, called accessory proteins. Although it was originally thought that these accessory proteins are non-essential for viral replication, a growing body of evidence suggests that these diverse proteins have crucial roles in virus-host interactions, in particular in the way they interfere with the signalling pathways that modulate the host cell’s response to infection and viral pathogenicity. Here, we summarize efforts to structurally characterize the accessory proteins from SARS-CoV-2.
期刊介绍:
Crystallography Reviews publishes English language reviews on topics in crystallography and crystal growth, covering all theoretical and applied aspects of biological, chemical, industrial, mineralogical and physical crystallography. The intended readership is the crystallographic community at large, as well as scientists working in related fields of interest. It is hoped that the articles will be accessible to all these, and not just specialists in each topic. Full reviews are typically 20 to 80 journal pages long with hundreds of references and the journal also welcomes shorter topical, book, historical, evaluation, biographical, data and key issues reviews.
