Endomembrane Systems are Reorganized by ORF3a and Membrane (M) of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
Summary The endomembrane reticulum (ER) is largely reorganized by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a and membrane (M) protein expression affects ER-derived structures including cubic membrane and double membrane vesicles in coronavirus-infected cells; however, the molecular mechanisms ...

SARS-CoV-2 accessory proteins ORF3a and ORF7a modulate autophagic flux and Ca2+ homeostasis in yeast
Virus infection involves the manipulation of key host cell functions by specialized virulence proteins. The SARS-CoV-2 small accessory proteins ORF3a and ORF7a have been implicated in favoring virus replication and spreading by inhibiting the autophagic ...

Image3_A novel diG motif in ORF3a protein of SARS-Cov-2 for intracellular transport.TIF
The ongoing SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic caused a global public health crisis. Yet, everyone’s response to SARS-CoV-2 infection varies, and different viral variants confer diverse pathogenicity. Thus, it is imperative to understand how viral determinants

Unraveling the impact of ORF3a Q57H mutation on SARS-CoV-2: insights from molecular dynamics
ORF3a is a conserved accessory protein of SARS-CoV-2, linked to viral infection and pathogenesis, with acquired mutations at various locations. Previous studies have shown that the occurrence of the Q57H mutation is higher in comparison to other ...

SARS-CoV-2 Orf3a protein interaction mapping using unnatural amino acid incorporation. [PDF]
Mapping transient protein–protein interactions remain a major challenge in studying viral host–pathogen interfaces. While some virus-host interactions are stable and readily captured, the majority are highly dynamic, reflecting the need for a small ...
