Abstract
The worldwide epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 was caused by a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV. Coronaviruses and their closest relatives possess extremely large plus-strand RNA genomes and employ unique mechanisms and enzymes in RNA synthesis that separate them from all other RNA viruses. The SARS epidemic prompted a variety of studies on multiple aspects of the coronavirus replication cycle, yielding both rapid identification of the entry mechanisms of SARS-CoV into host cells and valuable structural and functional information on SARS-CoV proteins. These recent advances in coronavirus research have important implications for the development of anti-SARS drugs and vaccines.

Coronaviruses and their closest relatives possess extremely large plus-strand RNA genomes and employ unique mechanisms and enzymes in RNA synthesis that separate them from all other RNA viruses. The SARS epidemic prompted a variety of studies on multiple aspects of the coronavirus replication cycle, yielding both rapid identification of the entry mechanisms of SARS-CoV into host cells and valuable structural and functional information on SARS-CoV proteins. These recent advances in coronavirus research have important implications for the development of anti-SARS drugs and vaccines.</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Abbreviations</title><kwd>2′-O-MT, 2′-O-ribose methyltransferase</kwd><kwd>3CL<sup>pro</sup>, 3C-like main protease</kwd><kwd>ADRP, ADP-ribose 1″-phosphatase</kwd><kwd>CPD, cyclic phosphodiesterase</kwd><kwd>ExoN, 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease</kwd><kwd>HCoV-229E, human coronavirus 229E</kwd><kwd>HR, heptad repeat</kwd><kwd>NendoU, nidoviral uridylate-specific endoribonuclease</kwd><kwd>ORF, open reading frame</kwd><kwd>PL2<sup>pro</sup>, papain-like protease 2</kwd><kwd>RdRp, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase</kwd><kwd>SARS, severe acute respiratory syndrome</kwd><kwd>SARS-CoV, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus</kwd><kwd>sg mRNA, subgenomic mRNA</kwd><kwd>TRS, transcription-regulating sequence</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>In November 2002, an atypical pneumonia, characterized by progressive respiratory failure and death in approximately 10% of cases, emerged in Guangdong Province, Southern China <xref rid="bib1" ref-type="bibr">1.••</xref>, <xref rid="bib2" ref-type="bibr">2.</xref>, <xref rid="bib3" ref-type="bibr">3.</xref>. Carlo Urbani, a WHO specialist in infectious diseases, was the first to recognize that this disease was unusual and that it represented a major threat to public health. Together with the Vietnamese authorities and WHO, he immediately introduced effective infection control measures that eventually stopped the further spread of the disease in Vietnam. Sadly, he would not survive to see this success. He contracted the disease and died as a result on March 29, 2003. The disease was named the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and a novel coronavirus, termed SARS-CoV, was rapidly identified as the etiological agent <xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">4.</xref>, <xref rid="bib5" ref-type="bibr">5.</xref>, <xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">6.</xref>, <xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7.•</xref>. The rapid spread of the disease to neighboring regions and other countries prompted the WHO to issue a global alert on March 13, 2003. By the end of the epidemic, in July 2003, more than 8400 SARS cases and around 800 deaths due to SARS had been recorded worldwide. SARS-CoV is only distantly related to other human coronaviruses, such as 229E (coronavirus group 1) and OC43 (coronavirus group 2), which are known to cause the common cold and, in only a few cases, are associated with lower respiratory tract illness and diarrhea <xref rid="bib8" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>. There is a large body of seroepidemiological data suggesting that SARS-CoV had not previously been endemic in humans <xref rid="bib6" ref-type="bibr">6.</xref>, <xref rid="bib7" ref-type="bibr">7.•</xref>. Conversely, there is some initial evidence that at least a small proportion of healthy people in Hong Kong may have been exposed to SARS-CoV-related viruses up to two years before the SARS outbreak <xref rid="bib9" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>. It is generally believed that SARS-CoV evolved from an animal coronavirus that recently crossed the species barrier. This hypothesis is supported by data published by Guan and co-workers <xref rid="bib10" ref-type="bibr">[10<sup>••</sup>]</xref>, who isolated SARS-CoV-like viruses from Himalayan palm civets and a raccoon dog that were sold on a life-animal market in Guangdong, China. Significantly, an increased seroprevalence of SARS-CoV was observed in people trading with these animals. The potential for interspecies transmission of SARS-CoV is also illustrated by the fact that a whole range of animals, including cats, ferrets, mice and macaques can be infected with SARS-CoV <xref rid="bib4" ref-type="bibr">4.</xref>, <xref rid="bib11" ref-type="bibr">11.</xref>, <xref rid="bib12" ref-type="bibr">12.</xref>. The animal reservoir of SARS-CoV in nature remains to be identified.</p><p>Coronaviruses are enveloped, plus-strand RNA viruses that feature the largest RNA genomes currently known. In terms of genome structure and expression, the <italic>Coronaviridae</italic> (genera <italic>Coronavirus</italic> and <italic>Torovirus</italic>) and their distant relatives from the <italic>Arteriviridae</italic> and <italic>Roniviridae</italic> families, which together form the virus order <italic>Nidovirales</italic>, differ significantly from other positive-strand RNA viruses. In this review, current understanding of the crucial steps of the SARS-CoV life cycle will be summarized, focusing on genome organization, gene expression and enzymes that are involved in genome replication and discontinuous synthesis of subgenomic mRNAs.</p></sec><sec><title>Genome organization</title><p>The SARS-CoV genome encompasses 29 727 nucleotides [excluding the 3′ poly(A) tail], of which 265 and 342 nucleotides, respectively, are located in the 5′ and 3′-nontranslated regions (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>) <xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">13.</xref>, <xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">14.</xref>. The genome is predicted to contain 14 functional open reading frames (ORFs) (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>) <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>. Two large, 5′-terminal ORFs, 1a and 1b, constitute the replicase gene, which encodes the proteins that are required for viral RNA synthesis (and probably has other functions). The remaining twelve ORFs encode the four structural proteins, S, M, N and E, and eight accessory proteins that are not likely to be essential in tissue culture but may provide a selective advantage in the infected host. On the basis of unrooted phylogenetic trees, SARS-CoV was initially proposed to represent a new group (‘group 4’) within the genus <italic>Coronavirus</italic><xref rid="bib13" ref-type="bibr">13.</xref>, <xref rid="bib14" ref-type="bibr">14.</xref>; however, rooted trees using torovirus and arterivirus sequences as outgroups convincingly placed SARS-CoV as a sister-lineage to the group 2 coronaviruses <xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">16.••</xref>, <xref rid="bib17" ref-type="bibr">17.</xref>.<fig id="fig1"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p>Genome organization and RNA synthesis of SARS-CoV. The putative functional ORFs in the genome of SARS-CoV are indicated. The 14 ORFs are expressed from the genome RNA (mRNA 1) and a nested set of sg mRNAs (mRNAs 2–9) that all have a common leader sequence derived from the 5′ end of the genome. The complement of this leader sequence (‘antileader’) is fused to the 3′ ends of nascent minus-strands by discontinuous RNA synthesis, which involves transcription-regulating sequences, the positions of which in the genome RNA are indicated here (see main text for details). The key functions that are required for the replication of the viral genome RNA and the synthesis of sg RNAs are encoded by the SARS-CoV replicase gene, comprising ORFs 1a and 1b. Expression of ORF1b sequences requires a programmed ribosomal frameshift into the –1 reading frame during translation of the genome RNA, which occurs just upstream of the ORF1a translation stop codon.</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="gr1"></graphic></fig></p></sec><sec><title>Cellular receptor</title><p>Entry of coronaviruses into target cells is initiated by binding of the viral S protein to receptor molecules. The S protein forms typical petal-shaped spikes on the surface of the virion. It is heavily glycosylated and consists of three domains, the external N-terminal domain with its conserved S1 and S2 subdomains, a transmembrane domain, and a short cytoplasmic domain at the C-terminus. The cellular receptor of several group 1 coronaviruses is aminopeptidase N, a zinc metalloprotease <xref rid="bib18" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>, whereas mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) (group 2) uses carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules as a cellular receptor <xref rid="bib19" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>. Recently, the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 was demonstrated to be a functional cellular receptor of SARS-CoV <xref rid="bib20" ref-type="bibr">[20<sup>••</sup>]</xref>. The minimal binding domain of the SARS-CoV S protein was delimited to the S1 residues 318–510 <xref rid="bib21" ref-type="bibr">[21]</xref> and antibodies specific for the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV S protein were shown to neutralize SARS-CoV infection <xref rid="bib22" ref-type="bibr">[22<sup>•</sup>]</xref>.</p></sec><sec><title>Genome expression</title><p>Following S protein-mediated fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane (see Update) and release of the viral genome RNA into the cytoplasm of the infected cell <xref rid="bib23" ref-type="bibr">[23]</xref>, SARS-CoV genome expression begins with the (cap-dependent) translation of the genomic RNA (mRNA 1; <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>). The translation product that is encoded by ORF1a is a protein of 4382 amino acid residues and is called polyprotein 1a (pp1a). Due to ribosomal frameshifting into the –1 reading frame, occurring just upstream of the ORF1a translation stop codon, pp1a can be extended with ORF1b-encoded sequences to yield the 7073-residue polyprotein 1ab (pp1ab). The signal mediating the frameshift consists of the ‘slippery’ sequence, <sup>13392</sup>UUUAAAC<sup>13398</sup>, and a downstream RNA pseudoknot structure <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>. Polyproteins pp1a and pp1ab are extensively processed by viral proteinases <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">15.••</xref>, <xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">24.</xref>, <xref rid="bib25" ref-type="bibr">25.•</xref> to yield a huge multi-subunit protein complex called ‘viral replicase-transcriptase’. Together with a number of cellular factors, this protein complex mediates the replication of the viral genome and the transcription of a nested set of eight subgenomic (sg) mRNAs <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>. Each of the sg mRNAs carries a 72-nucleotide, 5′-terminal leader sequence that is derived from the 5′-end of the genome <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>. The leader sequence is acquired by a unique mechanism that involves discontinuous synthesis of sg minus strands and is dependent on <italic>cis</italic>-active RNA elements, known as ‘transcription-regulating sequences’ (TRSs) <xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">26.</xref>, <xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">27.</xref>. The TRSs of SARS-CoV have a common core sequence, ACGAAC <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>, that, by complementary base-pairing, assists in the transfer of the nascent minus strand to the TRS (leader TRS), located downstream of the 5′-leader sequence on the genomic RNA <xref rid="bib26" ref-type="bibr">[26]</xref>. Besides complementary base-pairing, the transfer of the nascent minus strand to the 5′-leader TRS is thought to involve protein–protein interactions that keep the 5′-end of the genome in close proximity to the site of ongoing minus-strand synthesis. The current model of coronavirus sg RNA synthesis further suggests that, if the minus strand polymerase encounters attenuation signals that cause it to stall, the genome’s 5′-end would provide an alternative template, allowing minus-strand synthesis to be continued and completed <xref rid="bib27" ref-type="bibr">[27]</xref>. The resulting antileader-containing minus-strand RNAs are subsequently used as templates for (continuous) plus-strand synthesis of sg mRNAs. Analysis of SARS-CoV intracellular RNA synthesis, along with sequence analysis of the 5′-ends of SARS-CoV-specific RNAs confirmed the joining of noncontiguous genomic sequences in all the sg mRNAs and allowed reliable predictions on functional ORFs in the SARS-CoV genome <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>. Thus, the SARS-CoV RNAs 2 to 9 are predicted to encode the four structural proteins S, M, N and E, as well as eight SARS-CoV-specific proteins with currently unknown functions. The sg RNAs are either functionally monocistronic (mRNAs 2, 4, 5 and 6) or bicistronic (mRNAs 3, 7, 8 and 9) (<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>) <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">15.••</xref>, <xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">16.••</xref>.</p></sec><sec><title>Proteolytic processing of the replicative polyproteins</title><p>The production of a complex and diverse set of RNA molecules by SARS-CoV and other coronaviruses (and nidoviruses) is linked to an unparalleled complexity of the replicative polyproteins, which are anchored to intracellular membranes and contain a variety of enzymatic activities <xref rid="bib16" ref-type="bibr">16.••</xref>, <xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">28.</xref>.

Generally, coronaviruses employ two papain-like proteases, PL1<sup>pro</sup> and PL2<sup>pro</sup>, to process the N-proximal regions of the replicative polyproteins at three sites. By contrast, SARS-CoV encodes only one papain-like protease, the activity of which has been established recently <xref rid="bib15" ref-type="bibr">[15<sup>••</sup>]</xref>.

The central and C-terminal regions of the replicative polyproteins, pp1a and pp1ab, are cleaved by a chymotrypsin-like protease that, because of its distant relationship with the 3C proteases of picornaviruses, is named 3C-like protease, 3CL<sup>pro</sup><xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref>. The 3CL<sup>pro</sup> plays a pivotal role in coronavirus polyprotein processing and also releases the key replicative functions of the virus, such as RdRp and helicase; therefore, it is also called the coronavirus main protease, M<sup>pro</sup><xref rid="bib24" ref-type="bibr">24.</xref>, <xref rid="bib28" ref-type="bibr">28.</xref>.

However, there is a lack of structural and biochemical information on any coronavirus RdRp and structural predictions are complicated by the fact that the coronavirus RdRps are significantly diverged from cellular and viral RNA polymerases.

The model provides first insights into the active site of the protein and also enables conclusions to be drawn about the properties of potential nucleoside analog inhibitors of coronavirus RdRps. Thus, it was proposed that potential nucleoside analog inhibitors should contain groups at their 2′ and 3′ positions that are capable of making hydrogen-bonding interactions with RdRp residues 623 and 691. Furthermore, to avoid steric conflicts in the binding to the 2′ and 3′ positions, the potential nucleoside inhibitors should possess the C3′ <italic>endo</italic> sugar puckering conformation.

selectable replicon RNA (based on HCoV-229E) that expresses a reporter gene and that can be stably maintained in eukaryotic cells. The replicon-containing cell line can be used to assess the effects of potential coronavirus replicase inhibitors without the need to grow infectious virus. Once adapted to SARS-CoV, the replicon approach might allow high-throughput testing of compound libraries at a reduced biosafety level.</p></note></ref><ref id="bib59"><label>59.•</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Liu</surname><given-names>S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Xiao</surname><given-names>G.</given-names></name><name><surname>Chen</surname><given-names>Y.</given-names></name><name><surname>He</surname><given-names>Y.</given-names></name><name><surname>Niu</surname><given-names>J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Escalante</surname><given-names>C.R.</given-names></name><name><surname>Xiong</surname><given-names>H.</given-names></name><name><surname>Farmar</surname><given-names>J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Debnath</surname><given-names>A.K.</given-names></name><name><surname>Tien</surname><given-names>P.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Interaction between heptad repeat 1 and 2 regions in spike protein of SARS-associated coronavirus: implications for virus fusogenic mechanism and identification of fusion inhibitors</article-title><source>Lancet</source><volume>363</volume><year>2004</year><fpage>938</fpage><lpage>947</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">15043961</pub-id></element-citation><note><p>See annotation for <xref rid="bib60" ref-type="bibr">[60<sup>•</sup>]</xref>.</p></note></ref><ref id="bib60"><label>60.•</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Bosch</surname><given-names>B.J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Martina</surname><given-names>B.E.</given-names></name><name><surname>van Der Zee</surname><given-names>R.</given-names></name><name><surname>Lepault</surname><given-names>J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Haijema</surname><given-names>B.J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Versluis</surname><given-names>C.</given-names></name><name><surname>Heck</surname><given-names>A.J.</given-names></name><name><surname>de Groot</surname><given-names>R.</given-names></name><name><surname>Osterhaus</surname><given-names>A.D.</given-names></name><name><surname>Rottier</surname><given-names>P.J.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection inhibition using spike protein heptad repeat-derived peptides</article-title><source>Proc Natl Acad Sci USA</source><volume>101</volume><year>2004</year><fpage>8455</fpage><lpage>8460</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">15150417</pub-id></element-citation><note><p>This paper, together with <xref rid="bib59" ref-type="bibr">59.•</xref>, <xref rid="bib61" ref-type="bibr">61.</xref>, demonstrates that the HR sequences, HR1 and HR2, of the SARS-CoV S protein assemble into an antiparallel six-helix bundle. The formation of this structure probably contributes to a conformational change in the S protein that triggers the fusion between viral and host-cell membranes. Peptides derived from the HR2 sequence are shown to effectively inhibit SARS-CoV infection of Vero cells.</p></note></ref><ref id="bib61"><label>61.</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Ingallinella</surname><given-names>P.</given-names></name><name><surname>Bianchi</surname><given-names>E.</given-names></name><name><surname>Finotto</surname><given-names>M.</given-names></name><name><surname>Cantoni</surname><given-names>G.</given-names></name><name><surname>Eckert</surname><given-names>D.M.</given-names></name><name><surname>Supekar</surname><given-names>V.M.</given-names></name><name><surname>Bruckmann</surname><given-names>C.</given-names></name><name><surname>Carfi</surname><given-names>A.</given-names></name><name><surname>Pessi</surname><given-names>A.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Structural characterization of the fusion-active complex of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus</article-title><source>Proc Natl Acad Sci USA</source><volume>101</volume><year>2004</year><fpage>8709</fpage><lpage>8714</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">15161975</pub-id></element-citation></ref></ref-list><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>My work is supported by grants from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.</p></ack></back></pmc></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
