An unconventional HxD motif orchestrates coatomer-dependent coronavirus morphogenesis
2025-10-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Assembly of infectious coronaviruses requires spike (S) protein trafficking by host coatomer, typically via a dibasic signal in the S cytoplasmic tail. However, the human embecoviruses HKU1 and OC43, as well as the model virus MHV, lack this motif. Here we identify a conserved His-x-Asp (HxD) sequence that functions as an unconventional coatomer-binding signal. Structural and biochemical analyse...
