Background

SARS-CoV-2, which causes the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that are commonly comprised of four structural proteins: Spike protein(S), Envelope protein (E), Membrane protein (M), and Nucleocapsid protein (N) (1). M protein is the most abundant structural protein in the coronavirus membrane, and it is predicted to span the membrane three times, with a short N-terminal domain outside the viral envelope and a long C-terminal domain inside the virion (2). SARS-CoV-2 M protein is a 222 amino acid (aa) glycoprotein that is composed of an 18 aa N-terminal domain on the viral surface, 3 transmembrane domains, and a 122 aa C-terminal domain inside the viral envelope. SARS-CoV-2 M protein shares 89.14%, 98.6%, 98.2%, and 38.36% aa similarity with SARS-CoV-1, bat SARS-CoV, pangolin SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV M proteins, respectively (3). The M protein of coronavirus plays an important role in assembly of viral particles by interacting with other structural proteins, especially with the E protein (4, 5). In SARS-CoV-2, M protein, combined with E protein, regulates intracellular trafficking of the S Protein and its unique furin-mediated processing (6).
