Background: Nucleocapsid

SARS-CoV was discovered in association with cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that infected more than 8,000 persons with over 900 fatalities worldwide in 2002-2003 (1). It belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that also include MERS and SARS-Cov2 that causes the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Coronavirus is commonly comprised of four structural proteins: Spike protein(S), Envelope protein (E), Membrane protein (M), and Nucleocapsid protein (N) (1). While the S, E and M proteins build up the viral envelop, the N protein is involved in transcription, replication, and packaging of the viral RNA genome into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP) (2, 3). The SARS-CoV N protein is a ~45 kDa protein composed of two independent structural domains connected by a linker region. Both the N-terminal and the linker regions contain RNA binding domains, while the C-terminal region is responsible for the oligomerization of the N protein (2, 3). The SARS-CoV N protein shares 90% amino acid sequence identity with SARS-CoV-2 N protein. The N protein is an abundant protein during coronavirus infection and displays high immunogenic activity (4, 5), so it has been used to develop serological diagnostic kit for SARS IgM and IgG antibody tests.
