Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirusreferred to as SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first reported in Asia inFebruary 2003. Over the next few months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries inNorth America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 wascontained. SARS-CoV is transmitted from person to person by close personal contact such asvia respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The genomes ofthese viruses are positive-stranded RNA approximately 27-31kb long. The envelope (E) proteinis the smallest of the major structural SARS proteins. During virus replication, E is expressed inthe infected cell, but only a small portion of it is incorporated into the virus envelope. The majorityof E protein is found at the site of intracellular trafficking (i.e. ER, Golgi) where it plays a role invirus assembly and budding.
