Recombinant SARS Coronavirus Envelope protein

• Cat.No.: Envelope-301V
• Product Overview: Recombinant SARS Coronavirus Envelope protein (1-76aa) was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Description: Coronaviruses (CoVs) (order Nidovirales, family Coronaviridae, subfamily Coronavirinae) are enveloped viruses with a positive sense, single-stranded RNA genome. With genome sizes ranging from 26 to 32 kilobases (kb) in length. They infect humans and cause disease to varying degrees, from upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) resembling the common cold, to lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and even severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV cause severe infections that lead to high mortality rates.
  The coronaviral genome encodes four major structural proteins: the spike (S) protein, nucleocapsid (N) protein, membrane (M) protein, and the envelope (E) protein, all of which are required to produce a structurally complete viral particle. The E protein is the smallest of the major structural proteins. During the replication cycle, E is abundantly expressed inside the infected cell, but only a small portion is incorporated into the virion envelope. E participates in viral assembly, release of virions and pathogenesis of the virus. The majority of the protein is localised at the site of intracellular trafficking, the ER, Golgi, and ERGIC, where it participates in CoV assembly and budding. Recombinant CoVs lacking E exhibit significantly reduced viral titres, crippled viral maturation, or yield propagation incompetent progeny, demonstrating the importance of E in virus production and maturation
