Table1_A novel diG motif in ORF3a protein of SARS-Cov-2 for intracellular transport.docx
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

SARS Accessory Proteins ORF3a and 9b and Their Functional Analysis
The SARS coronavirus (CoV) positive-stranded RNA viral genome encodes 14 open reading frames (ORFs), eight of which encode proteins termed as “accessory proteins.” These proteins help the virus infect the host and promote virulence. In this chapter we describe some of our latest investigations into the structure and function of two such accessory ...

Highlights 1. ORF3a was successfully transfected into SW480 cells, and its expression was localized in the cytoplasm of SW480 cells. 2. ORF3a inhibited SW480 cell proliferation, invasion and migration, induced their apoptosis, and blocked them in the G1 ...

Unique truncated and non-synonymous mutations in functional domains of ORF3a SARS-CoV-2
Previous studies showed that mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a protein can influence viral pathogenesis. Therefore, it is necessary to observe mutations, especially in the functional domain of the protein.

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia
Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

Discovery of a Small Non-AUG-Initiated ORF in Poleroviruses and Luteoviruses That Is Required for Long-Distance Movement. [PDF]
Viruses in the family Luteoviridae have positive-sense RNA genomes of around 5.2 to 6.3 kb, and they are limited to the phloem in infected plants. The Luteovirus and Polerovirus genera include all but one virus in the Luteoviridae.
