Background: Nucleocapsid

HCoV-229E belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that are commonly comprised of a large plus-strand RNA genome and four structural proteins: Spike protein (S), Envelope protein (E), Membrane protein (M), and Nucleocapsid protein (N).  HCoV-229E is a member of the alpha-coronavirus family and was discovered in 1966 (1, 2). Other well-known human coronaviruses include three viruses that cause relatively mild respiratory disease: HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1 and HCov-OC43, plus three viruses that caused the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), the Middle East Respirator Syndrome (MERS-CoV), and the global pandemic Covid-19 (SARS-CoV2).  While the S, E and M proteins build up the viral envelop, the N protein is involved transcription, replication, and packaging of the viral RNA genome into a helical ribonucleocapsid (RNP) (3). The CoV-229E N protein is a ~50 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 (4). The CoV‑229E protein shares 45% amino acid sequence identity with CoV-NL63 N protein. the N protein is an abundant protein during coronavirus infection and displays high immunogenic activity. Cross activity of antibodies among different strains should be rigorously tested when designing serological diagnostic kits (5).
