Protein detail:


Protein name ORF7a protein
Uniprot protein ID P59635
Protein length 122 amino acids
Protein description The orf7a of SARS-CoV is a transmembrane protein with four regions from the N-terminal: 1) the first 15 amino acids form a signal peptide which is hydrolyzed by the infected host cells; 2) the amino acids from 16 to 96 constitute the intracellular domain; 3) the 97- 117 amino acids are hydrophobic amino acids constituting a transmembrane domain; and 4) the last five amino acids constitute theC- terminal of the orf7a. The orf7a interacts with the S, M, E, and the orf3aproteins, which suggest a role of the protein in theassembling of the virus and in the binding and invasion of the virus to the host cells. Manystudies have proved that orf7a has no role in the replication of the virus.
