CONTENT:
| GENOMIC TYPE | SS(single stranded) RNA virus |
| SIZE | Pleomorphic, ranging from 60 to 220 nm in diameter |
| ETYMOLOGY | (Latin) corona = crown. |
| APPEARANCE | A fringed appearance of widely spaced club-spaced surface projections, viral spike(S) peplomers, reminiscent of a solar corona. |
| PROTEINS that contribute to the overall structure of coronaviruses | Spike (S), envelope (E), transmembrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N) |
| OUTLINE of coronaviruses | Envelope composed of lipid bilayer. |
| GENOME | Non-segmented single-stranded positive-sense RNA of approximately 30 kb |
| PROPERTY | The ability to haemagglutinate |
| Spike (S) protein |
1. Virions(infected form of the virus) can be bound to specific surface receptors in the plasma membrane of the host cell via the N-terminus of the S proteins [9] 2. The major inducer of neutralizing antibody |
| Envelope (E) protein | A small, integral membrane protein involved in several aspects of the virus’ life cycle, such as assembly, budding, envelope formation, and pathogenesis.[2] |
| Transmembrane (M) protein |
1. The virion to fuse into the cell and to make protein antigenic.[3][4][5] 2. N protein forms a complex by binding to genomic RNA and M protein triggers the formation of interacting virions in this endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi apparatus intermediate compartment (ERGIC) with this complex.[6][7][8] |
| Nucleocapsid (N) protein |
Virion structure, replication and transcription of coronaviruses. |
