Description
Non-structural protein 7 (NSP7) is one of several functional proteins released by ORF1a-encoded protease cleavage of the pp1a and pp1ab replicase polyproteins expressed from the coronavirus (CoV) genome. The NSPs are involved in the replication and transcription of the viral RNA and not incorporated within the virion particles. Coronaviruses include various highly pathogenic strains such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 that have had significant impact on humans in addition to strains that have negatively impacted livestock. NSP7 is a small 83 amino acid protein that is highly conserved across coronaviruses. The NSP7 monomers are composed of a central core N-terminal tri-helical bundle with an additional short C-terminal helix
