SARS-CoV-2 protein ORF6

From Proteopedia

Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Theoretical Model: The protein structure described on this page was determined theoretically, and hence should be interpreted with caution. Function Open Reading Frame 6 (ORF6) Could be a determinant of virus virulence, since, when expressed in an otherwise attenuated JHM strain of murine coronavirus, it can dramatically increase the lethality of the latter. Seems to stimulate cellular DNA synthesis in vitro.[1][2] Disease Relevance Structural highlights See also Coronavirus_Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
