Brief Description
|
(IN3) SARS virus membrane protein
|
Specific Description
|
A novel coronavirus has recently been identified as the causative agent of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) (1-2). Coronaviruses are a major cause of upper respiratory diseases in humans (3). The genomes of these viruses are positive-stranded RNA approximately 27-31kb in length. SARS infection can be mediated by the binding of the viral spike protein, a glycosylated 139 kDa protein and the major surface antigen of the virus, to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on target cells. This binding can be blocked by a soluble form of ACE2 (4).
