Description

CoraFluor(TM) 1 is a high performance terbium-based TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) or TRF (Time-Resolved Fluorescence) donor for high throughput assay development. CoraFluor(IM) 1 absorbs UV light at approximately 340 nm, and emits at approximately 490 nm, 545 nm, 585 nm and 620 nm. It is compatible with common acceptor dyes that absorb at the emission wavelengths of CoraFluor(TM) 1. CoraFluor(TM) 1 can be used for the development of robust and scalable TR-FRET binding assays such as target engagement, ternary complex, protein-protein interaction and protein quantification assays.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a

SARS-CoV-2 Open Reading Frame 7a (ORF7a) is one of the nine downstream accessory protein open reading frames of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19 (1). SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a is a type I transmembrane protein with a 121 amino acid (aa) sequence and a theoretical molecular weight of 13.7 kDa (2, 3). ORF7a localizes mostly on the Golgi apparatus but also presents on the cell surface (4). The N-terminal domain of ORF7a is comprised of 7 beta-strands that form 2 beta-sheets, arranged by an immuno-globulin-like beta-sandwich fold (2, 5). The aa sequence alignment of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2's ORF7a has 85.2% sequence identity and 95.9% sequence similarity (3).

Similar to its role in SARS-CoV, ORF7a of SARS-CoV-2 is an inhibitor of the host tetherin bone marrow stromal antigen-2 (BST-2) (2, 4). Functionally, ORF7a binds to BST-2, inhibiting its viral restriction activity by blocking glycosylation (2, 4).
