T181 |
0-5 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Orf3b |
T182 |
6-145 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A novel short putative protein with 4 helices and no homology to existing SARS-CoV or SARS-r-CoV protein was found within Orf3b (Figure 4). |
T183 |
146-357 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It is notable that SARS-CoV deletion mutants lacking orf3b replicate to levels similar to those of wild-type virus in several cell types [19], suggesting that orf3b is dispensable for viral replication in vitro. |
T184 |
358-613 |
Sentence |
denotes |
But orf3b may have a role in viral pathogenicity as Vero E6 but not 293T cells transfected with a construct expressing Orf3b underwent necrosis as early as 6 h after transfection and underwent simultaneous necrosis and apoptosis at later time points [20]. |
T185 |
614-699 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Orf3b was also shown to inhibit expression of IFN-β at synthesis and signalling [21]. |
T186 |
700-881 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Subsequently, orf3b homologues identified from three bat SARS-related-CoV strains were C-terminally truncated and lacked the C-terminal nucleus localization signal of SARS-CoV [22]. |
T187 |
882-1022 |
Sentence |
denotes |
IFN antagonist activity analysis demonstrated that one SARS-related-CoV orf3b still possessed IFN antagonist and IRF3-modulating activities. |
T188 |
1023-1282 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results indicated that different orf3b proteins display different IFN antagonist activities and this function is independent of the protein's nuclear localization, suggesting a potential link between bat SARS-related-CoV orf3b function and pathogenesis. |
T189 |
1283-1373 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The importance of this new protein in 2019-nCoV will require further validation and study. |
T190 |
1374-1383 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Figure 4. |
T191 |
1384-1402 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Analysis of orf3b. |
T192 |
1403-1405 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A. |
T193 |
1406-1514 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Multiple alignment of orf3b protein sequence between 2019-nCoV (HKU-SZ-005b), SARS-CoV and SARS-related CoV. |
T194 |
1515-1517 |
Sentence |
denotes |
B. |
T195 |
1518-1564 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A novel putative short protein found in orf3b. |
