Identification, Isolation, and Molecular Characterization of Betacoronavirus in Oryx leucoryx
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped viruses with a large RNA genome (26 to 32 kb) and are classified into four genera: Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus, and Deltacoronavirus.

Broad betacoronavirus neutralization by a stem helix–specific human antibody [PDF]
Description Targeting a range of betacoranaviruses In the past 20 years, three highly pathogenic β-coronaviruses have crossed from animals to humans, including the most recent: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A spike protein

A potential broad‐spectrum neutralizing antibody against Betacoronavirus [PDF]
Three pandemics caused by human Betacoronavirus had broken out in the past two decades. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) was one of the novel epidemic strains which caused the third pandemic, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19)

The coevolutionary mosaic of bat betacoronavirus emergence risk
Pathogen evolution is one of the least predictable components of disease emergence, particularly in nature. Here, building on principles established by the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution, we develop a quantitative, spatially explicit framework ...

Discovery and characterization of a pan-betacoronavirus S2-binding antibody.
Three coronaviruses have spilled over from animal reservoirs into the human population and caused deadly epidemics or pandemics. The continued emergence of coronaviruses highlights the need for pan-coronavirus interventions for effective pandemic ...

Cell surface nucleocapsid protein expression: A betacoronavirus immunomodulatory strategy
Significance Despite the unprecedented global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, critical aspects of HCoV pathogenesis remain unclear, including mechanisms underlying immune evasion and viral manipulation of the cytokine network.

Alpha- and betacoronavirus cis-acting RNA elements
Coronaviruses have exceptionally large RNA genomes and employ multiprotein replication/transcription complexes to orchestrate specific steps of viral RNA genome replication and expression. Most of these processes involve viral cis-acting RNA elements that are engaged in vital RNA-RNA and/or RNA-protein interactions.

Betacoronavirus internal protein: role in immune evasion and viral pathogenesis. [PDF]
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.

Crystal structure of the membrane (M) protein from a bat betacoronavirus
The membrane (M) protein is the most abundant structural protein of coronaviruses including MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, and plays a central role in virus assembly through its interaction with various partner proteins. However, mechanistic details

The role of lysosomes as intermediates in betacoronavirus PHEV egress from nerve cells
The traditional view that betacoronaviruses exit occurs via the constitutive secretory route has recently been questioned by studies suggesting that this process involves lysosomal exocytosis.
