The crystal structure of the main (or 3CL) protease of transmissible gastroenteritis virus, a related coronavirus, has been determined and was used to construct a model of the SARS-CoV 3CL protease, facilitating future drug design against this important target (Anand et al., 2003) . In the related mouse hepatitis virus, which is a group 2 coronavirus, the SARS-CoV Nsp9 corresponds to a 12 kDa cleavage product (P1a-12) that is found preferentially in the perinuclear region of infected cells, where it co-localizes with other components of the viral replication complex (Bost et al., 2000) . ./cache/cord-354407-zzxjv666.txt ./txt/cord-354407-zzxjv666.txt
