HCoV-OC43
Ljudski koronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) pripadnik je vrste Betakoronavirus 1 koja inficira ljude i stoku. Infektirajući koronavirusom je jednolančani RNK virus u pozitivnom smislu koji ulazi u stanicu domaćina vezanjem na receptor N-acetil-9-O-acetilneuraminske kiseline.[1]
OC43 je jedan od sedam poznatih koronavirusa koji inficiraju ljude, uključujući HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1, MERS-CoV, izvorni SARS-CoV (ili SARS-CoV-1) i SARS-CoV-2. Uz ljudski koronavirus 229E, jedan je od virusa odgovornih za prehladu. Ima, kao i drugi koronavirusi iz roda Betakoronavirus, subgenus Embecovirus, dodatni kraći površinski protein u obliku šiljaka koji se naziva hemaglutinin esteraza (HE).[2]

PMID 27578435. //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5457962/. "BCoV S1-NTD does not recognize galactose as galectins do. Instead, it recognizes 5-N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5,9Ac2) (30, 43). The same sugar receptor is also recognized by human coronavirus OC43 (43, 99). OC43 and BCoV are closely related genetically, and OC43 might have resulted from zoonotic spillover of BCoV (100, 101)."
