For prokaryotic expression, two vector systems, pET28-a(+) and pGEX-4T-1 were constructed and expressed in <em>Escherichia coli</em> cells. For eukaryotic analyses, ORF3/pEGFP-C1 vector constructs were expressed in human embryonic, green monkey kidney and mouse fibrous cells. Intriguingly, there was minimal expression of the ORF3 gene. Following a documented hint that truncated ORF3 revealed higher expression, ORF3 gene was truncated. The simple modular architecture research tool analysis predicted two transmembrane domains between amino acid (aa) 41–63 and aa 76–98. Consequently, we generated two fragments; ORF-N (aa 1–98) inclusive of transmembrane domains and ORF3-C (aa 99–224). These truncated sequences were constructed as the whole gene here referred to as ORF3 wild type (wt). Coomassie blue stained gels revealed bands of ORF3-C expressed as a fusion protein of 17.5 and 39 kDa in pET28-a(+) and pGEX-4T-1 vectors, respectively. In contrast, ORF3-N was not. Additionally, ORF3-N induction decreased total cellular proteins suggesting inhibition of protein synthesis or metabolism. Solubility tests carried out at 30 °C, 25 °C and 18 °C showed that ORF3 formed inclusion bodies. Similar findings were observed in mammalian cells.
