| Short Name | NS7a_deltaCoV_HKU16-like |
| description | This entry includes the accessory protein NS7a from White-eye coronavirus HKU16, Falcon coronavirus UAE-HKU27, Houbara coronavirus UAE-HKU28 and Pigeon coronavirus UAE-HKU29, within the Buldecovirus subgenus of deltacoronaviruses (deltaCoVs). NS7a proteins in this subfamily have yet to be characterised.In deltaCoVs, several avian species encode accessory protein NS7a, which is homologous to Porcine coronavirus (PDCoV) HKU15 accessory proteins NS7 and NS7a. PDCoV NS7a is a 100 amino-acid polypeptide identical to the C-terminal of NS7; it remains unclear whether their functions are redundant. The PDCoV NS7 protein is extensively distributed in the mitochondria and may be involved in various cellular processes such as cytoskeleton networks and cell communication, metabolism, and protein biosynthesis [, , , ]. |
