Two AVPs that may shape viral genomes are the zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) and the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme-catalytic polypeptide-like 3 protein (APOBEC3). We tested the hypothesis that both APOBEC3 and ZAP may act as primary selective pressures that shape the genome of an infecting coronavirus by considering a comprehensive number of publicly available genomes for seven coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS, Bovine CoV, Murine MHV, Porcine HEV, and Canine CoV). In SARS-CoV-2, CpG is most deficient in the S protein region to evaded ZAP-mediated antiviral defense during cell entry. Here we compared the CpG and U content 327 of these coronaviruses and found that viruses that regularly infect AVP-rich tissues tend to Based on global sequence comparison, figure 4a shows that most SNPs are C->U substitutions. ./cache/cord-327520-qj7coqfr.txt ./txt/cord-327520-qj7coqfr.txt
