Disease relevance of Coronaviridae

In the setting of murine hepatitis virus strain-3 (MHV-3) infection, a member of the Coronaviridae, activated endothelial cells and macrophages express distinct cell-surface procoagulants, including a novel prothrombinase, Fgl2/fibroleukin, which are important for both the initiation and localization of fibrin deposition [1].
Amino acid sequences of 2 giant non-structural polyproteins (F1 and F2) of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a member of Coronaviridae, were compared, by computer-assisted methods, to sequences of a number of other positive strand RNA viral and cellular proteins [2].

High impact information on Coronaviridae

The AflII site engineered between ORFs 5 and 6 was subsequently used to generate a virus in which the ectodomain of the ORF 6-encoded M protein was extended with nine amino acids derived from the extreme N-terminus of the homologous protein of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV; family Coronaviridae, order Nidovirales) [3].
The ADRP (APPR-1'') domain - unique to the Coronaviridae - was also located in BoTV pp1a [4].
Nucleocapsid (N) proteins of the Coronaviridae family have no discernable homology, but they share a common nucleolar-cytoplasmic distribution pattern [5].
