Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously mutating since its first emergence in early 2020. These alterations have led this virus to gain significant difference in infectivity, pathogenicity, and host immune evasion. We previously found that the open-reading frame 8 (ORF8) of SARS-CoV-2 can inhibit interferon production by decreasing the nuclear translocation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Since several mutations in ORF8 have been observed, therefore, in the present study, we adapted structural and biophysical analysis approaches to explore the impact of various mutations of ORF8, such as S24L, L84S, V62L, and W45L, the recently circulating mutant in Pakistan, on its ability to bind IRF3 and to evade the host immune system. We found that mutations in ORF8 could affect the binding efficiency with IRF3 based on molecular docking analysis, which was further supported by molecular dynamics simulations. Among all the reported mutations, W45L was found to bind most stringently to IRF3. Our analysis revealed that mutations in ORF8 may help the virus evade the immune system by changing its binding affinity with IRF3.

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
