Background
SARS-CoV-2 Open Reading Frame 7a (ORF7a) is one of the nine downstream accessory protein open reading frames of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19 (1). SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a is a type I transmembrane protein with a 121 amino acid (aa) sequence and a theoretical molecular weight of 13.7 kDa (2, 3). ORF7a localizes mostly on the Golgi apparatus but also presents on the cell surface (4). The N-terminal domain of ORF7a is comprised of 7 beta-strands that form 2 beta-sheets, arranged by an immuno-globulin-like beta-sandwich fold (2, 5). The aa sequence alignment of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2's ORF7a has 85.2% sequence identity and 95.9% sequence similarity (3).
Similar to its role in SARS-CoV, ORF7a of SARS-CoV-2 is an inhibitor of the host tetherin bone marrow stromal antigen-2 (BST-2) (2, 4). Functionally, ORF7a binds to BST-2, inhibiting its viral restriction activity by blocking glycosylation (2, 4).
