Abstract In July/August 2023, the highly mutated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) BA.2.86 lineage emerged and its descendant JN.1 is on track to become the dominant SARS-CoV-2 lineage globally. Compared to the spike (S) protein of the parental BA.2.86 lineage, the JN.1 S protein contains one mutation, L455S, which may affect receptor binding and antibody evasion. Here, we performed a virological assessment of the JN.1 lineage employing pseudovirus particles bearing diverse SARS-CoV-2 S proteins. Using this strategy, it was found that S protein mutation L455S confers increased neutralization resistance but reduces ACE2 binding capacity and S protein-driven cell entry efficiency. Altogether, these data suggest that the benefit of increased antibody evasion outweighs the reduced ACE2 binding capacity and further enabled the JN.1 lineage to effectively spread in the human population.

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
