Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), which causes respiratory disease in infected birds, belongs to coronavirus group 3. IBV encodes 15 nonstructural proteins (nsp2-nsp16) which play crucial roles in RNA transcription and genome replication. Nonstructural protein 9 (nsp9) has been identified as a protein that is essential to viral replication because of its single-stranded RNA-binding ability. The gene segment encoding IBV nsp9 has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The protein has been crystallized and the crystals diffracted X-rays to 2.44 A resolution. They belonged to the cubic space group I432, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 123.4 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees . The asymmetric unit appeared to contain one molecule, with a solvent content of 62% (V(M) = 3.26 A(3) Da(-1)).
禽传染性支气管炎病毒(IBV)可导致受感染禽类出现呼吸道疾病,属于冠状病毒第3组。IBV编码15种非结构蛋白(nsp2 - nsp16),这些蛋白在RNA转录和基因组复制中发挥关键作用。非结构蛋白9(nsp9)因其单链RNA结合能力而被确定为病毒复制所必需的蛋白。编码IBV nsp9的基因片段已在大肠杆菌中克隆并表达。该蛋白已结晶,其晶体对X射线的衍射分辨率达到2.44 Å。它们属于立方空间群I432,晶胞参数a = b = c = 123.4 Å,α = β = γ = 90°。不对称单元似乎包含一个分子,溶剂含量为62%(V(M) = 3.26 ų Da⁻¹)。
