SARS-CoV-2 Background

Since last December, 2019, an outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19; previously known as 2019-nCoV) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was reported. COVID-19 has subsequently affected various global regions including Americas, Europe, Africa, Western Pacific etc. Even though COVID-19 is an acute resolved disease, it can also be deadly, with a 2% case fatality rate. As of Apr 14, about 1,844,863 cases has been confirmed globally, with 117,021 death cases. Now COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation, and has become a pandemic.

Virus Classification of SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, and it’s a strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV). Coronaviruses consist of four genus: α, β, γ, and δ. The coronaviruses that infect mammals are mainly α and β genus. Among the viruses capable of infecting humans, HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 belong to the α coronavirus, and HCoV-OC43, SARS-CoV, HCoV-HKU1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 belong to the β coronavirus.

Structure of SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2 was first sequenced by Fan Wu team, and the sequence was published in MN908947. SARS-CoV-2 consists of four structural proteins, including S (spike), E (envelope), M (membrane), and N (nucleocapsid) proteins. S, M and E proteins create the viral envelope together, and N protein holds the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome. As an important envelope protein, S protein is identified as the protein responsible for virus entry into human cells. In addition, the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been demonstrated to be the receptor, and spike/ACE2 interaction might be the mechanism of cell entry.
