摘要

Family Coronaviridae comprises genetically and antigenieally diverse (both inter- and intra-genotypic) virus populations that infect vertebrates including man, animals and poultry. The coronaviruses (CoVs) have large projections (peplomers/ spikes) of about 20nm on the envelope that forms solar corona-like features on the virion, first identified in avian Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in 1930s. This followed identification of Mouse Hepatitis Virus (MHV) and porcine Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus (TGEV), and human CoVs in 1940s and 1960s, respectively. Identification of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) agent of 2003 as a CoV was facilitated by visualization of virion surface projections of >20nm in electron microscopy. The virus structure is composed of 4 structural proteins, Spike (180-200kDa; orf2), Envelope (8-10kDa; orf3), Membrane (20-30kDa; orf4) and Nucleoprotein (50-60kDa; orf5). The viral genome also codes for non-structural proteins (up to 16 in SARS-CoV-2) in orfl (pplab), and accessory proteins (up to 9 in SARS-CoV-2) encoded by orfs interspersed between the four structural protein genes/orfs. Different species of CoV primarily vary in the size of ORF2 that codes for the Spike (S) glycoprotein. There are 13 different CoV species prevalent in humans (7) and porcine (6). Determinants of antigenic diversity are primarily located in the Spike (S) glycoprotein/ gene. The spike is composed of S protein trimers that bind to host cell receptor (one spike trimer can bind to 3 molecules of host receptor) to initiate virus infection cycle, determines host/ cell tropism, susceptibility, transmissibility, and pathogenicity. Most of the information on S gene and the S glycoprotein and their diversity are generated in IBV and MHV models, and of late in SARS-CoV-2. Spike protein differs in conformation among CoV species, that is whether the S protein cleaved or not during virion morphogenesis. In gamma-CoVs and a few beta-CoV, the S protein is cleave
