The RNA of mouse hepatitis virus, a coronavirus, was isolated from the virus released early in the infection and analyzed by sucrose gradient sedimentation and electrophoresis and is, therefore, probably positive stranded.Abstract:
The RNA of mouse hepatitis virus, a coronavirus, was isolated from the virus released early in the infection and analyzed by sucrose gradient sedimentation and electrophoresis. It was found to consist of a piece of single-stranded RNA of about 60S. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 5.4 X 10(6) by electrophoresis in methylmercury-agarose gels. At least one third of the RNA contained polyadenylated sequences. It is, therefore, probably positive stranded. The virus harvested late in the infection contained, in addition to 60S, some 30 to 50S RNA that are possibly degradation products of the 60S RNA. No difference in the electrophoretic behavior could be detected between the RNA isolated from a pathogenic (JHM) and a nonpathogenic (A59) strain.read more

Isolation of coronavirus envelope glycoproteins and interaction with the viral nucleocapsid.
TL;DR: A model is proposed for the arrangement of the three major structural proteins in the coronavirus A59 virion in relation to the viral envelope and RNA and can be distinguished on sucrose and Renografin density gradients from native viral nucleocapsids.

Human and bovine coronaviruses recognize sialic acid-containing receptors similar to those of influenza C viruses.
TL;DR: Results suggest that, like influenza C viruses, human coronav virus OC43 and bovine coronavirus recognize O-acetylated sialic acid or a similar derivative as cell receptor.
