Target data

Function

Plays a role in viral egress via lysosomal trafficking (PubMed:33157038, PubMed:33422265). Forms homotetrameric ion channels (viroporins) localized at endosomes and lysosomes, that may induce deacidification of lysosomes, allowing safe egress of virions via lysosomal trafficking (PubMed:33157038, PubMed:33422265, PubMed:34158638). Also blocks autolysosome formation by binding and sequestering the host component VPS39 for homotypic fusion and protein sorting (HOPS) on late endosomes (PubMed:33422265). This prevents fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes, disrupting autophagy and facilitating virus egress (PubMed:33422265). Induces host RETREG1/FAM134B-dependent reticulophagy by interacting with host HMGB1 and enhancing the association between HMGB1 and host BECN1 (PubMed:35239449). This induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammatory responses and facilitates viral infection (PubMed:35239449).

Activity summary

The SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a protein also known as ORF3 is an accessory protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus weighing approximately 275 amino acids. It is expressed in infected host cells and plays an important role in the virus's lifecycle. ORF3a is known for its role as an ion channel involved in the viral replication cycle. Its functions include altering host cell processes to facilitate viral propagation and possibly contributing to viral pathogenesis.

Biological function summary

The SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a protein interferes with the host immune response promoting virus survival and replication. ORF3a is implicated in the enhancement of viral pathogenic effects by modulating innate and adaptive immunity. Though not part of a large known stable complex ORF3a interacts with other viral and host proteins impacting processes like apoptosis and inflammation.

Pathways

ORF3a affects several critical processes within the host cell. It plays a role in the apoptosis pathway influencing cell death mechanisms that help the virus evade immune defenses. Additionally it modulates the NF-kB signaling pathway which is vital for immune response regulation. Other related proteins include ORF7a and NSP6 which work alongside ORF3a to manipulate host cell environments to the virus's advantage.

Associated diseases and disorders

The SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a protein is directly connected to COVID-19 impacting the severity and progression of the disease. Its interaction with host proteins contributes to dysregulated immune responses and cytokine storms characteristic of severe COVID-19 cases. The protein's role in apoptosis links it to potential lung tissue damage exacerbating respiratory conditions associated with COVID-19 infections.
