We observed that ORF-6 was able to induce apoptosis when overexpressed in Vero E6 and COS-7 cells (Fig. 1A and B) . The death rates were comparable to the rates caused by the overexpression of Bax, a well-known pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-family, and ORF-7a, a SARS protein that has been shown to induce apoptosis [19] . Our observation suggests that overexpression of ORF-6 induced apoptosis via a Caspase-3-dependent pathway. One of the possible mechanisms for SARS protein-induced cell death is via the JNK pathway. Overexpression of 7a, a protein specifically encoded by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, induces apoptosis via a caspase-dependent pathway The 3a protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus induces apoptosis in Vero E6 cells G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis induced by SARS-CoV 3b protein in transfected cells ./cache/cord-279766-s3ms5f56.txt ./txt/cord-279766-s3ms5f56.txt
