Virus Mutation SARS-CoV-2 Mutation E484K


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site E484K
Mutation Site Sentence In this paper, we mainly study and make predictions for the following SARS-CoV-2 variants: (1) the D614G variant that has quickly become the most prevalent form in the global pandemic since its emergence; (2) mink associated mutations including the ""Cluster 5"" variant identified by Statens Serum Institut (SSI) in Denmark and single spike substitution F486L; (3) the B.1.1.7 variant (Alpha variant) that was first reported in the UK; (4) the B.1.351 variant (Beta variant) that arose in South Africa, sharing the same mutation N501Y with B.1.1.7 (Alpha variant); (5) the P.1 variant (Gamma variant) that caused widespread infection in Brazil, containing spike substitution E484K and N501Y that present in B.1.351 (Beta variant); (6) the two key mutations that are referred as ""double mutant"" in B.1.617 variant (parent lineage of Kappa and Delta variant), which emerged in India in late 2020, and also the sub-variant B.1.617.2 (Delta variant).

Abstract As variants of the pathogen that causes COVID-19 spread around the world, estimates of infectiousness and lethality of newly emerging strains are important. Here we report a predictive model that associates molecular motions and vibrational patterns of the virus spike protein with infectiousness and lethality. The key finding is that most SARS-CoV-2 variants are predicted to be more infectious and less lethal compared to the original spike protein. However, lineage B.1.351 (Beta variant) is predicted to be less infectious and more lethal, and lineage B.1.1.7 (Alpha variant) is predicted to have both higher infectivity and lethality, showing the potential of the virus to mutate towards different performance regimes. The relatively more recent lineage B.1.617.2 (Delta variant), although contains a few key spike mutations other than D614G, behaves quite similar to the single D614G mutation in both vibrational and predicted epidemiological aspects, which might explain its rapid circulation given the prevalence of D614G. This work may provide a tool to estimate the epidemiological effects of new variants, and offer a pathway to screen mutations against high threat levels. Moreover, the nanomechanical approach, as a novel tool to predict virus-cell interactions, may further open up the door towards better understanding other viruses.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
