Abstract
BackgroundThe question of whether the coronavirus genome contain as-yetununderstood genetic component.Purpose (Objective)Elucidate the novel functions of the discovered tRNA-like base sequence and lead to the development of novel therapeutic agents.MethodsA novel tRNA-like base sequence was found in the sequences complementary to the genomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and SARS-CoV. By comparing mutations in the tRNA-like base sequences of these two viruses, it was found that base pairing in the cloverleaf model of SARS-CoV-2 was more robust than that of SARS-CoV.ResultsThe results of homology search between a short sequence of the coronavirus tRNA-like base sequence and human genes suggest that the molecule produced by this novel tRNA-like sequence may be involved in the splicing of human messenger RNA.ConclusionsExperimental molecular evidence of the tRNA-like base sequence discovered in this study is urgently needed.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13258-022-01299-w.
