In silico Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 ORF8-Binding Proteins Reveals the Involvement of ORF8 in Acquired-Immune and Innate-Immune Systems
1 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of a new type of coronavirus infection, COVID-19, which has rapidly spread worldwide. The overall genome sequence homology between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV is 79%. However, the homology of the ORF8 protein between these two coronaviruses is low, at ~26%. Previously, it has been suggested that infection by the ORF8-deleted variant of SARS-CoV-2 results in less severe symptoms than...
