Abstract Viruses in the families Arteriviridae and Coronaviridae have enveloped virions which contain nonsegmented, positive-stranded RNA, but the constituent genera differ markedly in genetic complexity and virion structure. Nevertheless, there are striking resemblances among the viruses in the organization and expression of their genomes, and sequence conservation among the polymerase polyproteins strongly suggests that they have a common ancestry. On this basis, the International…

Molecular evolution of corona- and toroviruses.

Coronaviruses belong to the newly established Nidovirales—the second order (in addition to the Mononegavirales) in animal virus taxonomy. They comprise a group of enveloped, positive-stranded RNA…

Nidovirales: Evolving the largest RNA virus genome

Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis of Roniviruses

This chapter covers what is known of the biology of okaviruses as well as molecular characteristics that place these viruses within the order Nidovirales and distinguish them from the coronavirus, toroviruses, and arteriviruses.

A comparative sequence analysis to revise the current taxonomy of the family Coronaviridae

Results of comparative sequence analysis of the spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleoprotein (N) structural proteins, and the two most conserved replicase domains, putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and RNA helicase (HEL), aimed at a revision of the Coronaviridae taxonomy are presented.

The structural biology of PRRSV

Genomics and Evolution of the Nidovirales

Progress in understanding the fundamental aspects of RNA virus genome expansion may help to monitor and control infections caused by nidoviruses.

Gain, Preservation, and Loss of a Group 1a Coronavirus Accessory Glycoprotein

An accessory gene, ORF3, unique to canine coronavirus type I (CCoV-I) is described and its product, glycoprotein gp3, is characterized and provided insight into the evolutionary history of coronav virus group 1a and into the dynamics of gain and loss of accessory genes.

Coronaviruses in Aquatic Organisms

Arterivirus RNA Synthesis Dissected

The family Arteriviridae and the order Nidovirales were formally established to acknowledge both the unique properties of arteriviruses and coronaviruses as well as their intriguing ancestral relationship at the level of replicase genes, genome organization, and replication strategy.

Exploring regulatory functions and enzymatic activities in the nidovirus replicase

This thesis demonstrated the recombinant nsp11 exhibits pyrimidine-specific endoribonuclease activity, and showed the critical importance of the NendoU domain for EAV RNA synthesis, and identified a multidomain replicase subunit, EAV nsp1, as a key coordinator of EAV genome replication, sg mRNA synthesis and virus production.

It is postulate that toro- and coronaviruses are ancestrally more related to each other than to other families of positive stranded RNA viruses.

Equine arteritis virus is not a togavirus but belongs to the coronaviruslike superfamily

The data indicate that EAV, presently considered a togavirus, is evolutionarily related to viruses from the coronaviruslike superfamily.

The notion that FECV and FIPV are not different species but merely virulence variants is supported, as it is shown that in naturally occurring FCoVs ORF7b seems to provide a distinct selective advantage during natural infection.

Identification and primary structure of the gene encoding the Berne virus nucleocapsid protein.

The nucleotide sequence of the nucleocapsid (N) protein gene of Berne virus (BEV; proposed family Toroviridae) was determined from two independent clones of a cDNA library using the knowledge that cysteine residues are absent from the amino acid sequences of the N protein.

All subgenomic mRNAs of equine arteritis virus contain a common leader sequence.

During the replication of equine arteritis virus (EAV) six subgenomic mRNAs are synthesized. We present evidence that the viral mRNAs form a 3'-coterminal nested set and contain a common leader…

The 3'-most 3 kb of the genome of bovine torovirus (BoTV) strain Breda was characterized and formal evidence that HE is a structural protein was provided by immunoelectron microscopy.

Ribonucleoprotein-like structures from coronavirus particles.

The structure of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of three coronaviruses was investigated and showed to be sensitive to both pancreatic RNase and to pronase, and it is concluded that these structures are RNP complexes.
