Characteristics of Four Kinds of Structural Proteins of SARS-CoV-2
In order to further identify the molecular biological characteristics and general structural characteristics of S,M,E and N proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2(SARS-CoV-2),the amino acid sequences of the above proteins were selected for bioinformatics analysis and prediction. The structural domain characteristics of the above proteins and the potential B cell epitopes of S protein were analyzed and mutually verified by DNAstar,SignalP,TMHHM,PSORT Prediction,BUSCA and ABCpred softwares. The results showed that the functional domains of the four proteins were predicted,and the potential B cell epitopes of S protein was analyzed and predicted to be 25 to 29,75 to 81,112 to 116,148 to152 and 773 to 779 aa. Based on the results,some references were provided for further study on molecular biology and structural biology related to SARS-CoV-2,and theoretical basis was provided for vaccine development.
