The Delta variant possesses, in addition the D614G amino acid substitution, three modifications and two deletions in the NTD supersite (T19R, G142D, R158G, and deletions at E156- and E157-, respectively), two modifications in the RBM (L452R and T478K), one modification near the FCS (P681R), and two additional modifications: one in the NTD (T95I) and another in the heptad repeat 1 (HR1) (D950N). |

Abstract
|
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has triggered myriad efforts to understand the structure and dynamics of this complex pathogen. The spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is a significant target for immunogens as it is the means by which the virus enters human cells, while simultaneously sporting mutations responsible for immune escape. These functional and escape processes are regulated by complex molecular-level interactions. Our study presents quantitative insights on domain and residue contributions to allosteric communication, immune evasion, and local- and global-level control of functions through the derivation of a weighted graph representation from all-atom MD simulations. Focusing on the ancestral form and the D614G-variant, we provide evidence of the utility of our approach by guiding the selection of a mutation that alters the spike's stability. Taken together, the network approach serves as a valuable tool to evaluate communication ""hot-spots"" in proteins to guide design of stable immunogens.
