Correlates of SARS-CoV-2 Variants on Deaths, Case Incidence and Case Fatality Ratio among the Continents for the Period of 1 December 2020 to 15 March 2021.
Result: The N_G204R mutation was reported at 22.31%, 75.69%, 46.59%, 52.36% and 76.01% in SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences isolated from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and South America, respectively.
Mutation hotspots and spatiotemporal distribution of SARS-CoV-2 lineages in Brazil, February 2020-2021.
Result: After the importation of B.1.1 lineages characterized by N:R203K and N:G204R mutations, community transmission massively occurred and gave rise to B.1.1.28 (S:V1176F) and B.1.1.33 lineages (ORF6:I33T and N:I292T), widely distributed in Brazilian regions along the first year of the pandemic.

Conclusion: In addition, both sequences presented the R203K and G204R aminoacid change in the nucleocapsid (N) protein.

Result: Consistent with this study, we identified R203K, G204R, S194L, and M234I in the nucleocapsid protein as shared mutations between Columbia and Rock Hill WWTP influents in January 2021 (Supplementary Table S3).
Result: In particular, R203K and G204R both had a mutation rate of 0.22, indicating that they were present in 22% of all sequences as of December 2020.

Result: Consequently, the absence of R203 residue is expected to have an immediate impact on the N protein folding and functionality, while any of the variations in position 204 of the protein (G204R, G204L, or G204H) lead only to subtle modifications (Figure 5).
Molecular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 from Bangladesh: implications in genetic diversity, possible origin of the virus, and functional significance of the mutations.
Result: About 88% of the sequences clustered in GR clade the distinctive feature of which is G204R mutation in the nucleocapsid protein (Figure 4 and Table 3).
Result: Beside these, two of the high frequency (86%) SNVs (R203K and
Table: G204R
Discussion: The second most frequent mutation in our analysis was a tri-nucleotide change resulting in two amino acid changes which are R203K and G204R in N protein.
Discussion: This finding is similar with other studies those reported R203K and G204R destabilizes N protein structure but may enhance interaction with SARS-CoV-2 Envelop protein that may promote viral release.

Result: Mutations detected in the N protein of all samples analyzed were M1X, D3L, R203K, G204R and S235F.
Discussion: Other mutations detected in all samples analyzed, such as M1X, R203K and G204R, could affect the amplification efficiency of the N-gene target.
