The species Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus: classifying 2019-nCoV and naming it SARS-CoV-2
Alexander E. Gorbalenya,Susan C. Baker,Ralph S. Baric,Raoul J. de Groot,Christian Drosten,Anastasia A. Gulyaeva,Bart L. Haagmans,Chris Lauber,Andrey M. Leontovich,Benjamin W. Neuman,Dmitry Penzar,Stanley Perlman,Leo L.M. Poon,Dmitry V. Samborskiy,Igor A. Sidorov,Isabel Sola,John Ziebuhr +16 more
TL;DR: The independent zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV and SARS -CoV-2 highlights the need for studying viruses at the species level to complement research focused on individual pathogenic viruses of immediate significance.

TL;DR: The Coronavirus Study Group (CSG) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses assessed the novelty of the human pathogen tentatively named 2019-nCoV and formally recognizes this virus as a sister to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: During the summer of 2012, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a hitherto unknown coronavirus was isolated from the sputum of a patient with acute pneumonia and renal failure and was provisionally called human coronav virus Erasmus Medical Center (EMC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ribose 2′-O-methylation provides a molecular signature for the distinction of self and non-self mRNA dependent on the RNA sensor Mda5

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the induction of type I interferon by viruses deficient in 2′-O-methyltransferase was dependent on the cytoplasmic RNA sensor Mda5, which suggests that RNA modifications such as 2-methylation provide a molecular signature for the discrimination of self and non-self mRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Papain-Like Protease of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Has Deubiquitinating Activity
TL;DR: The identification and characterization of a 316-amino-acid catalytic core domain of PLpro that can efficiently cleave replicase substrates in trans-cleavage assays and peptide substrate in fluorescent resonance energy transfer-based protease assays is reported.
