Abstract Objective In this study we compare the amino acid and codon sequence of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV using different statistics programs to understand their characteristics. Specifically, we are interested in how differences in the amino acid and codon sequence can lead to different incubation periods and outbreak periods. Our initial question was to compare SARS-CoV-2 to different viruses in the coronavirus family using BLAST program of NCBI and machine learning algorithms. Results The result of experiments using BLAST, Apriori and Decision Tree has shown that SARS-CoV-2 had high similarity with SARS-CoV while having comparably low similarity with MERS-CoV. We decided to compare the codons of SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV to see the difference. Though the viruses are very alike according to BLAST and Apriori experiments, SVM proved that they can be effectively classified using non-linear kernels. Decision Tree experiment proved several remarkable properties of SARS-CoV-2 amino acid sequence that cannot be found in MERS-CoV amino acid sequence. The consequential purpose of this paper is to minimize the damage on humanity from SARS-CoV-2. Hence, further studies can be focused on the comparison of SARS-CoV-2 virus with other viruses that also can be transmitted during latent periods.

The Difference

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3), unlike other MRPs, transports taurocholate (TC). The difference in TC transport activity between rat MRP2 and MRP3 was studied, focusing on the cationic amino acids in the transmembrane domains. For analysis, transport into membrane vesicles from Sf9 cells expressing wild-type and mutated MRP2 was examined. Substitution of Arg at position 586 with Leu and Ile and substitution of Arg at position 1096 with Lys, Leu, and Met resulted in the acquisition of TC transport activity, while retaining transport activity for glutathione and glucuronide conjugates. Substitution of Leu at position 1084 of rat MRP3 (which corresponds to Arg-1096 in rat MRP2) with Lys, but not with Val or Met, resulted in the loss of transport activity for TC and glucuronide conjugates. These results suggest that the presence of the cationic charge at Arg-586 and Arg-1096 in rat MRP2 prevents the transport of TC, whereas the presence of neutral amino acids at the corresponding position of rat MRP3 is required for the transport of substrates.

Carbohydrate Chains

1. The content and distribution of carbohydrate was examined in mucus glycopolypeptides from human antral mucosae. 2. The mean amount of carbohydrate per 1000 amino acid residues was found to be similar in glycopolypeptides with A, B or H activity. It was slightly, though significantly, less in glycopolypeptides lacking these determinants, because carbohydrate chains were of a shorter average length than in the A-, B- or H-active preparations. This difference was reflected in the sizes of oligosaccharide—alcohols released from representative glycopolypeptides with alkaline borohydride. 3. Differences between A-, B- or H-active and non-secretor glycopolypeptides in terms of the mean number of carbohydrate chains per 1000 amino acid residues were found to be small, and without significance. 4. The average number of peripheral monosaccharide units per 1000 amino acid residues was greater in A-active than in H-active, and least in non-secretor, glycopolypeptides. This order was reversed for monosaccharide units incorporated into skeletal (core plus backbone) structures. The difference in each case was statistically significant. 5. These findings suggest that the increased risk of peptic ulcer associated with blood group O and non-secretor status is unlikely to be attributable to an inherent deficiency in the protective mucus layer, linked to differences between mucins that are associated with A, B or H activity. Other hypotheses linked to infection with Helicobacter pylori are examined.
