A novel coronavirus, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, recently emerged through zoonotic transmission, causing a severe lower respiratory tract infection in humans. In two recent papers, one published in Cell Research, the crystal structure of the viral receptor-binding domain in complex with the host CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase 4 receptor has now been characterized.
一种新型冠状病毒,即中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒,最近通过动物源传播出现,导致人类发生严重的下呼吸道感染。在最近的两篇论文中,一篇发表在《细胞研究》上,现已对病毒受体结合域与宿主 CD26/二肽基肽酶 4 受体复合物的晶体结构进行了描述。
