Abstract
From the mid-1960s onwards, it was believed that only two human coronavirus species infect humans: HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43. Then, in 2003, a novel member of the coronavirus family was introduced into the human population: SARS-CoV, causing an aggressive lung disease. Fortunately, this virus was soon expelled from the human population, but it quickly became clear that the human coronavirus group contains more members then previously assumed, with HCoV-NL63 identified in 2004. Despite its recent discovery, ample results from HCoV-NL63 research have been described. We present an overview of the publications on this novel coronavirus.

Then, in 2003, a novel member of the coronavirus family was introduced into the human population: SARS-CoV, causing an aggressive lung disease. Fortunately, this virus was soon expelled from the human population, but it quickly became clear that the human coronavirus group contains more members then previously assumed, with HCoV-NL63 identified in 2004. Despite its recent discovery, ample results from HCoV-NL63 research have been described.

The virus particles are enveloped and carry extended spike proteins on the membrane surface, providing the typical crown-like structure (crown=corona) (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>). Coronaviruses are known to infect mammals and birds. Genotypically, the coronaviruses can be subdivided into three groups. The group III viruses are found exclusively in birds, whereas viruses from group I and II have mammals as their host.

The 5′ two-thirds of the genome contains the large 1a and 1b ORFs, encoding the proteins necessary for RNA replication (the nonstructural proteins), whereas the 3′ one-third contains the genes coding for the structural proteins: haemagglutinin esterase protein (only for group IIa), spike protein, envelope protein, membrane protein and nucleocapsid protein. Interspersed between the structural protein genes one can find accessory protein genes that differ in number and position for the various coronaviruses (

In humans, the coronaviruses (HCoV) are associated with respiratory tract illnesses, and its most villainous member is SARS-CoV. This virus was identified in 2003 and causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), an often-fatal lung disease in humans (
<xref rid="b15" ref-type="bibr">Drosten, 2003</xref>;
<xref rid="b34" ref-type="bibr">Ksiazek, 2003</xref>;
<xref rid="b51" ref-type="bibr">Osterhaus, 2004</xref>). The SARS-CoV probably originated from a wild animal reservoir, most likely bats (
<xref rid="b40" ref-type="bibr">Lau, 2005</xref>;
<xref rid="b42" ref-type="bibr">Li, 2005</xref>), and was transmitted in a zoonotic event to humans via infected civet cats that were marketed and prepared as food in China. The global spread of SARS in early 2003 caused at least 800 deaths and substantial morbidity. The epidemic was contained at the end of 2003 due to a highly effective global public health response, and SARS-CoV is currently not circulating in humans. Nevertheless, at least four coronaviruses are continuously circulating in the human population, especially in young children. Two were discovered recently: HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 (
<xref rid="b72" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2004</xref>;
<xref rid="b76" ref-type="bibr">Woo, 2005b</xref>); the other two, HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-229E, were identified in the mid-1960s (
<xref rid="b68" ref-type="bibr">Tyrrell & Bynoe, 1965</xref>;
<xref rid="b23" ref-type="bibr">Hamre & Procknow, 1966</xref>). The latter viruses were tested for pathogenicity in human volunteers, which demonstrated that HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43 cause the common cold (
<xref rid="b7" ref-type="bibr">Bradburne, 1967</xref>). For the new viruses HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 a human test system, but also an animal model system, is lacking. Nevertheless, since the discovery of HCoV-NL63 in 2004, much knowledge has been gained on this virus. Several groups have studied the worldwide spread, the association with human disease and replication characteristics of HCoV-NL63.
</p></sec><sec id="ss1"><title>Identification of HCoV-NL63</title><p>In January 2003, a 7-month-old child appeared in an Amsterdam hospital with coryza, conjunctivitis and fever. Chest radiography showed typical features of bronchiolitis and a nasopharyngeal aspirate specimen was collected 5 days after the onset of disease (sample NL63). Diagnostic tests for all known respiratory viruses were negative. The clinical sample was inoculated onto tertiary monkey kidney cells (tMK;
<italic>Cynomolgus</italic>monkey) and a cytopathic effect was observed. The infectious agent could subsequently be passaged onto LLC-MK2 cells (a monkey kidney cell line). Using the VIDISCA method (Virus Discovery cDNA-AFLP;
<xref rid="b72" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2004</xref>) a novel virus could be identified in the supernatant of the LLC-MK2 culture. The initial PCR products showed sequence similarity to the genome sequence of members of the
<italic>Coronaviridae</italic>family. The complete genome of the virus (named at that time HCoV-NL63) showed that this virus was not a recombinant but rather a novel member of the group I coronaviruses (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3</xref>). HCoV-NL63 forms a subcluster with HCoV-229E, PEDV (porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus), and Bat-CoV (
<xref rid="b53" ref-type="bibr">Poon, 2005</xref>), which was assigned group Ib. The percentage nucleotide and amino acid identity among the
<italic>Coronaviridae</italic>was determined for each gene and is listed in
<xref rid="t1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>. For all genes except the M gene, the identity is the highest with HCoV-229E.

Fouchier described a virus (which they named HCoV-NL) in a Vero-E6 cell culture supernatant (
<xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">Fouchier, 2004</xref>). A nose swab sample was collected from an 8-month-old boy suffering from pneumonia in 1988. Virus from that sample was also cultivated first on tMK cells and subsequently passaged onto Vero cells. The similarity with the previously described HCoV-NL63 strain was very high (98.8% at the nucleotide level) and it can be concluded that these two virus isolates represent the same species. Most differences between the two virus variants are clustered in the amino terminal region of the spike protein (

<xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">Esper, 2005b</xref>). Using universal coronavirus primers, patient samples were identified with coronaviruses that did not match at the nucleotide level with HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43 or SARS-CoV. These authors gave their virus the name ‘New Haven coronavirus’ (HCoV-NH), although the partial sequences of their isolates clearly show that the novel coronaviruses identified in New Haven, CT, USA, are very similar to the isolates from the Netherlands (94–100% identical at nucleotide level) and thus represent the same species (
<xref rid="b71" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek & Berkhout, 2005</xref>).
</p><p>Careful reading of the early coronavirus literature indicates that HCoV-NL63, or the novel group II virus HCoV-HKU1, may have been observed previously. In some of the earliest work on human coronaviruses during the mid-1960s, viruses could be propagated in human embryonic tracheal organ culture that were not, or only distantly, related to HCoV-229E or HCoV-OC43 (

<xref rid="b48" ref-type="bibr">McIntosh, 1967</xref>). Unfortunately these strains [B814 (
<xref rid="b68" ref-type="bibr">Tyrrell & Bynoe, 1965</xref>), HCoV-OC16, HCoV-OC37, and HCoV-OC48 (
<xref rid="b48" ref-type="bibr">McIntosh, 1967</xref>)] were lost for follow-up studies, so it remains undetermined whether these viruses represent HCoV-HKU1 or HCoV-NL63, or yet undiscovered human coronaviruses. Additionally, in the beginning of the 1980s, several isolates of human coronaviruses were studied that were obtained by either cell culture or organ culture (HCoV strains AD, PA, LP, KI, PR, TO, RO, GI, and HO) (
<xref rid="b39" ref-type="bibr">Larson, 1980</xref>;
<xref rid="b45" ref-type="bibr">Macnaughton, 1981</xref>;
<xref rid="b58" ref-type="bibr">Reed, 1984</xref>). Some of these isolates turned out to be serologically related to HCoV-OC43, and therefore were termed group II isolates (strains RO, GI and HO), whereas others were serologically related to HCoV-229E and thus were assigned as group I isolates (strains AD, PA, LP, KI, PR, and TO). Of these group I viruses, LP, KI, PR and TO could be cultured in MRC continuous cells (human), but strains AD and PA could only be cultured in human foetal tracheal and nasal organ cultures. In fact, this difference in culture properties reflects the difference in cell tropism of HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 (see ‘Cell tropism and receptor usage’) and thus raises the possibility that some of these early group I strains (for instance AD and PA) were in fact HCoV-NL63 isolates. Unfortunately, this hypothesis cannot be tested because isolates AD and PA were also lost for further study. The earliest HCoV-NL63 isolate remains the NL-strain that was obtained from a patient in 1988, which was identified as HCoV-NL63 in 2004 (

Since then a number of reports have shown that the virus is not unique to the Netherlands, and that it can be found worldwide. In Australia, HCoV-NL63 could be detected in 16 of 766 patients with acute respiratory disease (2.1%;
<xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">Arden, 2005</xref>). A Japanese study on 118 children under the age of 2 that suffered from bronchiolitis and who were admitted to the hospital revealed three positive patients (2.5%;
<xref rid="b16" ref-type="bibr">Ebihara, 2005a</xref>), and a second Japanese study presented five HCoV-NL63 infections among 419 specimens collected from children with respiratory infections (1.2%) (
<xref rid="b66" ref-type="bibr">Suzuki, 2005</xref>). Among 279 hospitalized children with upper and lower respiratory tract illness in Belgium, seven children were identified with HCoV-NL63 (2.3%) (
<xref rid="b49" ref-type="bibr">Moes, 2005</xref>). In France, 28 of 300 patients with upper and lower respiratory tract illness under the age of 20 harboured HCoV-NL63 RNA (9.3%) (
<xref rid="b70" ref-type="bibr">Vabret, 2005</xref>) and in a Swiss cohort of neonates, HCoV-NL63 was identified in six of 82 cases (7%) during their first episode of lower respiratory tract illness (
<xref rid="b32" ref-type="bibr">Kaiser, 2005</xref>). Two studies by a Canadian group reported 45 NL63-positive patients of a total of 1765 specimens that were tested (2.5%) (
<xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">Bastien, 2005a</xref>,
<xref rid="b3" ref-type="bibr">b</xref>). Seven of these Canadian patients were involved in an outbreak of acute respiratory-tract infection in a personal care home for elderly. HCoV-NL63 was also detected in Hong Kong in 15 of 587 (2.6%) children (
<xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">Chiu, 2005</xref>). These Hong Kong children participated in a prospective clinical and virological study on children under the age of 18 with acute respiratory tract infection. The study group represented the Hong Kong population, so it could be estimated that HCoV-NL63 infection causes more than 200 hospital admissions each year per 100 000 children under the age of 6. Among 949 samples of children with lower respiratory tract illness in Germany who participated in the PRI.DE study (Paediatric Respiratory Infection in Germany) HCoV-NL63 was detected in 49 children (5.2%) (
<xref rid="b73" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2005</xref>). On the whole, patients with HCoV-NL63 range in age from 1 month to 100 years, but in all studies the proportion of positive specimens is the highest in the 0–5-year group. HCoV-NL63 infection is frequently observed in patients with an underlying disease, whether they are immunocompromised due to (chemo-) therapy or HIV infection or have another medial condition such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (

<xref rid="b49" ref-type="bibr">Moes, 2005</xref>). In conclusion, HCoV-NL63 infection has been recognized all over the world. Infection of children, the elderly or weakened persons regularly requires hospitalization due to the severity of respiratory symptoms.
</p></sec><sec id="ss4"><title>Seasonality of infection</title><p>HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-229E tend to be transmitted predominantly in the winter season in temperate climate countries (
<xref rid="b25" ref-type="bibr">Hendley, 1972</xref>). The seasonality of HCoV-NL63 in the Netherlands shows the same preference for the winter season. The studies in Belgium, Australia, Japan, Canada, Germany and France also report a winter predominance of this virus (
<xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">Arden, 2005</xref>;

<xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">Chiu, 2005</xref>). This indicates that the seasonality of HCoV-NL63 in tropical and subtropical regions may not be restricted to the winter season.
</p></sec><sec id="ss5"><title>Genetic differences between isolates</title><p>RNA viruses have an enormous potential to generate genetic diversity due to their high mutation rates, which are estimated at approximately one mutation per genome per replication cycle (
<xref rid="b14" ref-type="bibr">Drake & Holland, 1999</xref>;
<xref rid="b50" ref-type="bibr">Moya, 2004</xref>). As a consequence, RNA viruses are known to exist as a dynamic distribution of variants with a closely related, yet non-identical genome centred on a master sequence, the so-called quasispecies concept (
<xref rid="b13" ref-type="bibr">Domingo 2002</xref>). These high mutation rates provide RNA viruses with the capacity to increase their level of genetic variability and thereby their ability to adapt quickly to a change in the environment. In addition to the high mutation rate, recombination events increase the level of genetic diversity. Coronavirus recombination is assumed to be mediated by a ‘copy choice mechanism’ with template switching by the polymerase during RNA-dependent RNA synthesis (
<xref rid="b37" ref-type="bibr">Lai, 1985</xref>;
<xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">Herrewegh, 1998</xref>).
<italic>In vivo</italic>recombination has been described between group I feline and canine coronaviruses, between strains of MHV (mouse hepatitis virus) and between strains of IBV (infectious bronchitis virus) (
<xref rid="b27" ref-type="bibr">Herrewegh, 1998</xref>;
<xref rid="b38" ref-type="bibr">Lai & Holmes, 2001</xref>). Phylogenetic analysis of a small part of the 1a gene of HCoV-NL63 shows diversity of the natural isolates and subsequent clustering in NL63 subgroups (
<xref rid="b72" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2004</xref>;
<xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">Arden, 2005</xref>;
<xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">Bastien, 2005a</xref>;
<xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">Chiu, 2005</xref>). The close clustering of isolates from the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong, Korea and Australia indicates that this clustering does not correlate with the geographic origin (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Fig. 5</xref>). Phylogenetic analysis of the spike gene also reveals the presence of subgroups (
<xref rid="b49" ref-type="bibr">Moes, 2005</xref>). Interestingly, but not unexpectedly for coronaviruses, the clustering based on the 1a gene does not match with that of the spike gene, indicating that recombination has occurred between different HCoV-NL63 isolates (
<xref rid="b49" ref-type="bibr">Moes, 2005</xref>;
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Fig. 5</xref>). Sequencing of full-length genomes of field isolates verifies the discordant clustering of 1a-gene sequences and spike sequences and confirms that recombination is also common for HCoV-NL63 (K. Pyrc, R. Dijkman, L.C. Deng, M.F. Jebbink, B. Berkhout & L. van der Hoek, unpublished results).

Especially the 5′ region of the 1b gene, which encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and the nucleocapsid protein gene show a low level of heterogeneity among natural isolates of HCoV-NL63 (K. Pyrc, R. Dijkman, L.C. Deng, M.F. Jebbink, B. Berkhout & L. van der Hoek, unpublished results). These regions therefore present the best targets for the design of diagnostic primers and probes. Clinical samples will contain virus with its full-length genome, but may also contain subgenomic mRNAs from infected cells. Considering that the sequence of the nucleocapsid gene is present in the genomic RNA and also in all subgenomic mRNAs (
<xref rid="b57" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2004</xref>), this region of the HCoV-NL63 genome may represent the ideal target for the design of molecular-based detection assays.
</p></sec><sec id="ss6"><title>Combined infection with HCoV-NL63 and a second respiratory virus</title><p>HCoV-NL63 infections are often found in combination with a second respiratory virus, and the frequency of double infections can exceed 50% of all HCoV-NL63 infections (
<xref rid="b73" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2005</xref>). Some studies reported coinfection with influenza A virus H3N2 (
<xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">Chiu, 2005</xref>), respiratory syncytial virus (

<xref rid="b1" ref-type="bibr">Arden, 2005</xref>;
<xref rid="b19" ref-type="bibr">Esper, 2005b</xref>). Interestingly, the viral load of HCoV-NL63 in patients with a coinfection is significantly lower than the load in singly infected HCoV-NL63 patients (
<xref rid="b11" ref-type="bibr">Chiu, 2005</xref>;
<xref rid="b73" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2005</xref>). The reduced viral load may be caused by direct competition for the same target cell in the respiratory tissues. Alternatively, the innate immune response triggered by one respiratory virus may inhibit replication of HCoV-NL63. It is also likely that an initial HCoV-NL63 infection may set the stage for a subsequent infection with another respiratory virus, and at the time that this second virus is causing symptoms, the HCoV-NL63 infection may already be under the control of the immune system. Double infections are more often observed in hospitalized patients vs. outpatients (
<xref rid="b73" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2005</xref>), suggesting that patients with a codetected respiratory virus have a more severe disease or a worse long-term prognosis than patients with a single HCoV-NL63 infection. However, further studies are required to confirm these trends.
</p></sec><sec id="ss7"><title>Viral shedding</title><p>In the course of a coronavirus infection the virus can be shed for a long period. For instance, some cats infected with FIPV (feline infectious peritonitis virus) can continue to shed the virus in faeces for months (

These results indicate that HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-OC43 are the two coronaviruses that cause most respiratory infections leading to hospitalization. Similar results were obtained in our laboratory for patients with respiratory disease who were diagnosed in the Public Health Laboratory at the Municipal Health Service of Amsterdam. Of the 63 respiratory samples that were tested for the three human coronaviruses (229E, OC43 and NL63) in the winter of 2002–2003, three samples were positive for HCoV-NL63 (4.7%) and three for HCoV-OC43 (4.7%); no HCoV-229E was detected (S.

The first study in Hong Kong identified two HCoV-HKU1 infected adult patients among 400 (0.5%) patients with respiratory illnesses. A French study on HCoV-HKU1 demonstrated six HCoV-HKU1 positive samples among 135 hospitalized children (4.4%) (

<xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">Bastien, 2005a</xref>), showing that the severity of the respiratory disease can be substantial. All studies on the incidence of HCoV-NL63 infection have used respiratory clinical material from patients suffering from respiratory tract illnesses, mostly lower respiratory tract illnesses. It is therefore not surprising that the symptoms associated with NL63-infection represent respiratory diseases. Nevertheless, one can provide an initial overview of the symptoms related to HCoV-NL63 infection by focusing on patients without a secondary infection.
<xref rid="t3" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>summarizes the symptoms in patients with an HCoV-NL63 infection. These results are derived only from studies that did not select for certain clinical symptoms, because selection for a respiratory disease (e.g. bronchiolitis or lower respiratory tract illness) will bias the overview towards these clinical symptoms. As mentioned above, a substantial number of patients suffered from lower respiratory tract illnesses that required hospitalization. On the other hand, some of the patients showed relatively mild symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat and rhinitis (
<xref rid="b2" ref-type="bibr">Bastien, 2005a</xref>). For instance, only 16 of the 45 patients with HCoV-NL63 in Canada had been hospitalized because of the respiratory illness, demonstrating that infection with HCoV-NL63 does not always require hospitalization (

<xref rid="b33" ref-type="bibr">Konig, 2004</xref>). That study demonstrated a strong association between laryngotracheitis (croup) and HCoV-NL63 infection. Croup is an inflammation of the trachea and is characterized by a loud barking cough that usually worsens at night. Almost half of the HCoV-NL63 positive patients were diagnosed with croup and a significantly higher fraction of samples from croup patients contained HCoV-NL63 RNA (17.4%) compared to noncroup patients (4.2%,
<italic>P</italic><0.0001). However, in other studies, not many croup patients are among the HCoV-NL63 positives (
<xref rid="t3" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>). Patient selection in these studies may explain this discrepancy. Croup patients are not often hospitalized, and even less frequently sampled for respiratory virus diagnostics. For this reason, croup patients are under-represented in most studies that analyzed hospitalized RTI patients. The PRI.DE study and the Hong Kong study were the only population-based studies, thus excluding a bias in patient selection. Both studies observed the high frequency of croup among the HCoV-NL63 positive patients (43% and 27%, respectively) (

</p><p>Interestingly, HCoV-NL63 has also been associated with Kawasaki disease (
<xref rid="b18" ref-type="bibr">Esper, 2005a</xref>). Respiratory secretions from 11 children with Kawasaki disease were tested and eight samples were positive for HCoV-NL63 (73%). HCoV-NL63 was detected in only one subject of a control group of 22 patients matched for age with the Kawasaki disease patients who visited the hospital in the same period. These results published by Esper
<italic>et al.</italic>are of obvious relevance. Kawasaki disease is one of the most common forms of childhood vasculitis (
<xref rid="b9" ref-type="bibr">Burns & Glode, 2004</xref>). It presents with prolonged fever and a polymorphic exanthem, oropharyngeal erythema, and bilateral conjunctivitis. Scarlet fever and measles are the closest clinical mimics. A number of epidemiological and clinical observations suggested previously that an infectious agent might be the cause of Kawasaki disease. These observations include the acute self-limiting nature of the febrile illness, the peak of incidence in patients under 18 months, the geographic clustering of outbreaks, and the seasonal predominance of the illness in late winter/early spring (
<xref rid="b36" ref-type="bibr">Kuijpers, 1999</xref>). Coronary complications can be reduced significantly by the use of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy combined with oral aspirin (
<xref rid="b8" ref-type="bibr">Burns, 2001</xref>). The link between HCoV-NL63 and Kawasaki disease is fascinating; however, multiple groups recently questioned the association between Kawasaki disease and HCoV-NL63. These groups screened for HCoV-NL63 in respiratory material of Kawasaki disease patients, but none were able to confirm the findings by Esper

<xref rid="b46" ref-type="bibr">McIntosh, 1996</xref>). This means that during a lifetime virtually everybody will experience an infection with these viruses, and everybody will consequently carry antibodies against these viruses. Expression of a fragment of the HCoV-NL63 spike protein – a part unique to HCoV-NL63 – in
<italic>Escherichia coli</italic>and subsequent analysis for antibody recognition revealed that this protein was recognized in all healthy adults who were tested (
<italic>n</italic>=18) on Western blot. These sera were also capable of virus neutralization in cell culture infections, indicating that adults have neutralizing antibodies that are specific for HCoV-NL63 (K. Pyrc and L. van der Hoek, unpublished results). This result was confirmed in quantitative infection assays using pseudotyped virus. Pseudotyping is a method that uses pseudovirions to investigate the interaction between the spike protein of HCoV-NL63 and the target cell. The functional organization of coronavirus spike proteins is similar to that of the glycoprotein from retroviruses, and spike proteins can be incorporated into the membrane of retrovirus particles. These pseudovirions accurately mimic receptor engagement and membrane fusion of the coronavirus and can be used to study the capacity of sera to inhibit binding of the coronavirus spike to the target cell. Retroviral particles expressing the HCoV-NL63 spike protein or the HCoV-229E spike protein were compared in neutralization assays. Sera that showed specific reactivity against the NL63 spike on western blot and that neutralized the virus in cell culture infections also neutralized infection in the NL63-pseudovirions assay (
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2005</xref>). Surprisingly, a completely different result was obtained with the 229E-pseudovirions. HCoV-229E neutralization occurred only in a minority of the samples from adults (
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2005</xref>). This result reinforces the idea that infection with HCoV-NL63 is much more common than HCoV-229E infection. Neutralizing NL63-antibodies are, on average, acquired before the age of 8 years, but thus far only a limited number of sera from the different age groups have been tested (
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2005</xref>). Screening a larger number of samples with an NL63-specific-ELISA will allow a more precise determination of the average age at which HCoV-NL63 is acquired. An NL63-ELISA will also prove valuable to critically test whether Kawasaki disease in young children is accompanied by seroconversion or an increase in HCoV-NL63-specific antibodies. Such results are needed to further document the putative role of HCoV-NL63 as the causative agent of Kawasaki disease.

The spike of HCoV-NL63 is a class I fusion protein, similar to the influenza virus haemagglutinin and the HIV-1 Env glycoprotein gp120/gp41. The amino-terminal part of the spike protein (S1) contains the receptor-binding domain and the carboxy-terminal part (S2) contains a membrane-spanning region, two heptad repeat regions (HR1 and HR2) and the fusion peptide. Before the discovery of HCoV-NL63 it was generally thought that all group I coronaviruses use CD13 (also known as aminopeptidase N) as receptor, in view of the fact that it was described for HCoV-229E, porcine coronaviruses TGEV (transmissible gastroenteritis virus) and PRCoV (porcine respiratory coronavirus), and the feline and canine coronaviruses (
<xref rid="b12" ref-type="bibr">Delmas, 1992</xref>;
<xref rid="b79" ref-type="bibr">Yeager, 1992</xref>;
<xref rid="b67" ref-type="bibr">Tresnan, 1996</xref>). Unexpectedly, HCoV-NL63 is not able to use CD13 as receptor for cell entry (
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2005</xref>). The cell types that support virus replication already suggested an unusual receptor usage of HCoV-NL63. The virus replicates in monkey kidney cells (
<xref rid="b21" ref-type="bibr">Fouchier, 2004</xref>,
<xref rid="b72" ref-type="bibr">van der Hoek, 2004</xref>), whereas its closest relative, HCoV-229E, does not. Intriguingly, SARS-CoV is also able to replicate in monkey kidney cells. Being from a different coronavirus group (SARS-CoV is from group IIb), this similarity in cell tropism is surprising. A more detailed analysis of the cell tropism revealed that certain human cells can also be infected by HCoV-NL63, namely Huh-7 cells: a human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2005</xref>). This underscores the resemblance of HCoV-NL63 and SARS-CoV because Huh-7 cells can also be infected by the latter coronavirus. The shared cell tropism is suggestive of a shared receptor usage by HCoV-NL63 and SARS-CoV. SARS-CoV was unique among the coronaviruses in that it uses angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to bind to and to enter target cells (
<xref rid="b41" ref-type="bibr">Li, 2003</xref>). ACE2 is a surface molecule that was not known previously as a receptor for coronaviruses. Subsequently,
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann (2005)</xref>showed that HCoV-NL63 is the only other coronavirus next to SARS-CoV that uses ACE2 as entry receptor. This surface molecule is localized to the ciliated cells of human nasal and tracheobronchial airway epithelia, thus supporting the presence of virus infection in the upper airways (
<xref rid="b62" ref-type="bibr">Sims, 2005</xref>).
</p><p>The HCoV-NL63 receptor ACE2 is a homologue of the ACE protein, and both are key enzymes of the renin–angiotensin system. ACE activates the renin–angiotensin system by cleaving angiotensin I into angiotensin II, whereas ACE2 negatively regulates this system by inactivating angiotensin II. The renin–angiotensin system has a crucial role in severe acute lung injury (
<xref rid="b31" ref-type="bibr">Imai, 2005</xref>), with ACE2 playing a protective role in lung failure and its counterpart ACE promoting lung oedemas and impaired lung function during acute lung injury. Interestingly, infection with SARS-CoV suppresses the expression of ACE2 protein and it has been hypothesized that the reduced level of ACE2 during SARS-CoV infection is the main cause of the severe pneumonia and acute, often lethal, lung failure (
<xref rid="b35" ref-type="bibr">Kuba, 2005</xref>). It seems important to compare the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV and HCoV-NL63 with respect to ACE2 binding and downregulation. The reduced pathogenicity of HCoV-NL63 suggests that ACE2 binding by the virus is not the only factor that determines the severity of viral pathogenicity. Further research on this subject is warranted, especially on the modulation of the ACE2 expression levels during HCoV-NL63 infection, to understand the difference in lung pathogenicity of SARS-CoV and HCoV-NL63.
</p></sec><sec id="ss13"><title>pH-dependent cell entry</title><p>The internalization of coronaviruses into the host cell occurs either by direct fusion with the plasma membrane or by endocytosis and subsequent fusion with the endosomal membrane. Viruses that use the latter entry route can be inhibited by lysosomotropic agents that lower the endosomal pH such as bafilomycin A, chloroquine and NH
<sub>4</sub>Cl. Treatment of Huh-7 cells with bafilomycin A or NH
<sub>4</sub>Cl revealed that entry driven by NL63-S protein depends on the low-pH environment in intracellular vesicles (
<xref rid="b29" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2005</xref>). The same has been described for HCoV-229E infection and SARS-CoV-S mediated infection (

<xref rid="b28" ref-type="bibr">Hofmann, 2004</xref>;

<sub>4</sub>Cl. In the same system, SARS-CoV-S mediated entry showed strong pH dependence, similar to results described previously. The same study also demonstrated that cathepsin function is not essential for HCoV-NL63 infection. Cathepsins are a diverse group of endosomal and lysosomal proteases with endo- and exopeptidase activity. One of these, cathepsin L, facilitates endosomal entry of SARS-CoV (

</p></sec></sec><sec id="ss14"><title>Transcription and replication of HCoV-NL63</title><p>Unfortunately, an infectious cDNA clone of HCoV-NL63 is currently not available. For this reason, basic research on the molecular properties of the virus and its replication cycle has been limited. Inspection of the HCoV-NL63 genome and comparison with the genomes of other coronaviruses led to several predictions concerning its life cycle and replication strategies. The genome of HCoV-NL63 contains important signals that are needed for efficient replication (
<xref rid="b54" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2005</xref>). Translation of the genomic RNA generates one large polyprotein encoded by the 1a gene, and a −1 ribosomal frameshift results in the production of the 1ab polyprotein. A potential pseudoknot RNA structure that could facilitate the frameshift for HCoV-NL63 is located within the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene. The predicted pseudoknot structure consists of a hairpin with a highly conserved 11-base pair stem, and a loop of eight nucleotides that forms five base pairs with a sequence 167 nucleotides further downstream. The heptanucleotide UUUAAAC sequence is present just upstream of the pseudoknot and probably acts as the slippery sequence where the actual ribosomal frameshift occurs (
<xref rid="b54" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2005</xref>).
</p><p>Coronaviruses employ posttranslational proteolytic processing as a key regulatory mechanism in the expression of their replicative proteins. The HCoV-NL63 1a and 1ab polyproteins are potentially cleaved by viral proteases to facilitate the assembly of a multisubunit protein complex that is responsible for viral replication and transcription. The genome of HCoV-NL63 is predicted to encode two proteinases in the 5′ region of the 1a polyprotein (
<xref rid="b54" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2005</xref>). First, a papain-like proteinase (PL
<sup>pro</sup>) is expressed by the nonstructural protein (nsp) 3 gene situated near the 5′ end of the genome. This putative papain-like proteinase of HCoV-NL63 consists of two domains – PL1
<sup>pro</sup>and PL2
<sup>pro</sup>– and both are expected to have catalytic activity. The enzyme is predicted to cleave the 1a/1b protein at three sites between nsp1|nsp2, nsp2|nsp3, and nsp3|nsp4, releasing the functional papain-like proteinase protein (nsp3) molecule by auto-cleavage (
<xref rid="t4" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>). Analysis of the predicted cleavage sites of PL
<sup>pro</sup>indicates that this HCoV-NL63 enzyme has the specificity to cut between two small amino acids with short uncharged side chains, similar to homologous enzymes in other coronaviruses (

</p><p>HCoV-NL63 genome replication generates several subgenomic mRNAs for the spike, ORF3, envelope, membrane and nucleocapsid protein genes (
<xref rid="b57" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2004</xref>). All subgenomic mRNAs have an identical 5′ part, the untranslated leader of 72 nt. Creation of subgenomic mRNA requires pausing at a transcription regulatory sequence immediately upstream of the ORF during negative strand RNA synthesis. Subsequently, the nascent RNA chain switches in a strand transfer event to a transcription regulatory sequence located in the 5′ untranslated region of the genome such that a common leader sequence is added to each subgenomic mRNA. The transcription regulatory sequence motif of HCoV-NL63 is AACUAAA (
<xref rid="b57" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2004</xref>). This transcription regulatory sequence core sequence is conserved in all subgenomic mRNA, except for the envelope protein gene that has the suboptimal transcription regulatory sequence core AACUAUA (
<xref rid="b57" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2004</xref>). The subgenomic mRNA for the nucleocapsid protein is the most abundant and there is an inverse correlation between the distance of a gene to the 3′ untranslated region and its RNA expression level. The envelope protein gene forms a notable exception for which the amount of the subgenomic mRNA is lower than expected, which may be due to the suboptimal transcription regulatory sequence motif (

<xref rid="b55" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2006a</xref>), peptides derived from the HR2 domain can inhibit virus infection, most likely by interacting with HR1. The peptide thus blocks formation of the natural HR1–HR2 interaction, prevents membrane fusion and as a consequence reduces infection.

<xref rid="b55" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc (2006a)</xref>explored the antiviral potential of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HCoV-NL63. The inhibitory properties of two siRNAs targeting conserved sequences within the spike protein gene were analyzed in cell culture infections. Transfection of a relatively low amount of siRNA into HCoV-NL63-susceptible cells made them resistant to virus infection.

<xref rid="b55" ref-type="bibr">Pyrc, 2006a</xref>). As yet, however, the exact mechanism by which these agents inhibit HCoV-NL63 transcription is unclear. Finally, protease inhibitors act at the level of posttranslational processing. The M
<sup>pro</sup>of coronaviruses has a highly conserved substrate-recognition pocket, thus providing the opportunity to design broad-spectrum antiviral drugs against several coronavirus species (

</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions" id="ss16"><title>Conclusions</title><p>HCoV-NL63 was first described in 2004, but it soon became clear that this virus is not an emerging virus in humans. The isolate from 1988 proves this, but also the literature from the mid 1960s and 1980s indicates that human coronaviruses other than HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43 circulated in those days. The symptoms observed during infection with HCoV-NL63 resemble those observed in children infected with HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43: upper and lower respiratory tract illnesses. However, the high frequency of croup is typical for HCoV-NL63 infection. The first publications on HCoV-NL63 were from two Dutch research groups, but infection with this virus is not restricted to the Netherlands. Numerous groups have reported HCoV-NL63 infections worldwide. The virus was detected in 1–10% of the screened patient groups and a peak is observed in the winter season in most countries. Only in Hong Kong has a spring–summer seasonality been described, which may be caused by the subtropical climate.</p><p>The HCoV-NL63 genome sequence is most similar to HCoV-229E, and has a low similarity to the group II coronaviruses HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1 and SARS-CoV. Given the evolutionary distance with the latter virus, it is striking that HCoV-NL63 and SARS-CoV share the same receptor for target cell entry. This receptor, ACE2, is a member of the renin–angiotensin system, but it is also involved in the protection against lung damage. The influence of HCoV-NL63 infection on ACE2 expression is of interest as it has been postulated that the down-regulation of ACE2 during SARS-CoV infection is a major factor in the pathogenicity of SARS.</p><p>The identification of NL63-variants with distinct genetic markers underscores that HCoV-NL63 was not recently introduced into the human population. The clustering of the NL63-variants is not based on geographical distribution, as the different subtypes appear to coexist. Phylogenetic analysis of the 1a and spike genes of field isolates supplies evidence for the occurrence of recombination. The shared receptor usage by SARS-CoV provides the opportunity for double infection of the same cell. Consequently, there is a risk of recombination between these two viruses, with the possibility that more pathogenic variants of HCoV-NL63 can evolve. Several antiviral agents are in development that potentially inhibit HCoV-NL63 infection, and these can be used to develop an effective antiviral treatment.</p><p>Finally, there is an urgent need for an infectious cDNA clone and an appropriate animal model system to study the virus in more detail. Those tools would provide the possibility to investigate pathogenicity markers of the virus, and to compare the differences between SARS-CoV and HCoV-NL63 infections.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>L.vd.H. is supported by VIDI grant 016.066.318 from Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), The Netherlands.</p></ack><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="b1"><mixed-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Arden</surname><given-names>KE</given-names></name><name><surname>Nissen</surname><given-names>MD</given-names></name><name><surname>Sloots</surname><given-names>TP</given-names></name></person-group>&
