The SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein has evolved towards membrane topology robustness
24 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Single-spanning SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein topology is a major determinant of protein quaternary structure and function. Charged residues distribution in E protein sequences from highly pathogenic human coronaviruses (i.e., SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) stabilize Ntout-Ctin membrane topology. E protein sequence could have evolved to ensure a more robust membrane topology from MERS-CoV to SARS-CoV and...
