Some are named after the encoded protein. Others that are not as clean are just orfXXX for open reading frame XXX.
Envelope.
Membrane.
Spike.
Nucleocapsid phosphoprotein, sticks to the RNA inside.
www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20768-y mentions functions:
  • helps pack the viral RNA into the capsule
  • also has a side function in immune suppression
These are also required for test tube replication.
Protease that cuts up ORF1ab. Note that it is also present in ORF1ab.
The RdRp, since this is a Positive-strand RNA virus.
Unlike SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein, these are not needed for test tube reproduction. They must therefore be for host modulation.
