Abstract
Three years ago, we reported a comparison of the primary structures of the S peplomer proteins of three coronaviruses - mouse hepatitis virus (MHV, strain A59), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV, strain M41), and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV, strain 79-1146) - which represent the three antigenic clusters in the Coronavirus family (De Groot et al., 1987a, b). A periodicity in the C-terminal part of the S sequence indicated the presence of a coiled-coil structure, which forms the stalk of the peplomer. The nonconserved N-terminal sequence probably forms the bulbous part of the peplomer.
