Betacoronavirus internal protein: role in immune evasion and viral pathogenesis
ABSTRACT Betacoronaviruses express a small internal (I) protein that is encoded by the same subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) as the nucleocapsid (N) protein. Translation of the +1 reading frame of the N sgRNA through leaky ribosomal scanning leads to expression of the I protein.

Development of ACE2-tropic-betacoronavirus therapeutics for future pandemic preparedness
A major challenge during viral pandemics is the ability to develop therapeutics whose efficacy can withstand viral genetic evolution. During the COVID-19 pandemic, five SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics were rendered ineffective within a period of 2 years, leading to the U.S. FDA revoking their emergency use authorization.

Genomic characterization and cross-species transmission potential of hedgehog coronavirus
In the 21st century, three betacoronaviruses (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) have emerged in humans worldwide as a result of animal spillover, causing severe respiratory infections and resulting in more than seven million deaths.

Convergent evolution of the G3BP1-binding motif in betacoronavirus nucleocapsid proteins
Abstract Betacoronaviruses (β-CoVs) display divergent mechanisms to evade host antiviral responses, yet the evolutionary origin and functional relevance of their strategies remain unclear. Stress granules (SGs), central to host defenses, are disrupted by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid (N ...

Advancements in the development of antivirals against SARS-Coronavirus
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) caused an outbreak in 2002-2003, spreading to 29 countries with a mortality rate of about 10%. Strict quarantine and infection control methods quickly stopped the spread of the disease.

Detection of avian, murine, bovine, shrew, and bat coronaviruses in wild mammals from Mexico
Coronaviruses infect a wide range of animal and human hosts. Some human coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, originated in animals, with bats often serving as ancestral hosts.
