A schematic representation of the life cycle of coronavirus. Coronavirus spike protein (trimers) binds with membrane surface proteins of host cells to facilitate viral entry. Uncoated genomic RNA is then translated, and viral components are replicated. Viral proteins are assembled for maturation, and the newly packaged viral particles are released.
