Virus Mutation SARS-CoV-2 Mutation K417N


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site K417N
Mutation Site Sentence We found that the mutations K417N; E484K; and N501Y within the receptor-binding domains (RBDs) of the virus could confer ~2-fold higher binding affinity to the human receptor; angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2); compared to the wildtype RBD.

Abstract The newly emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 from South Africa (B.1.351/501Y.V2) and Brazil (P.1/501Y.V3) have led to a higher infection rate and reinfection of COVID-19 patients. We found that the mutations K417N, E484K, and N501Y within the receptor-binding domains (RBDs) of the virus could confer ~2-fold higher binding affinity to the human receptor, angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), compared to the wildtype RBD. The mutated version of RBD also completely abolishes the binding of bamlanivimab, a therapeutic antibody, in vitro. Detailed analysis shows that the ~10-fold gain of binding affinity between ACE2 and Y501-RBD, which also exits in the high contagious variant B.1.1.7/501Y.V1 from the United Kingdom, is compromised by additional introduction of the K417/N/T mutation. Mutation of E484K leads to the loss of bamlanivimab binding to RBD, although this mutation does not affect the binding between RBD and ACE2.

Note
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
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
