 PMID: 34760721       2021       Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
Introduction: This variant of B.1.1.7 lineage harbors receptor-binding domain (RBD) N501Y mutation and other mutations including 69/70 deletion, spike P681H, and ORF8 stop codon (Q27stop) mutation.The beta variant (20H/501Y.V2) of B.1.351 lineage harbors spike N501Y, E484K, and K417N/T mutations without 69/70 deletion and is predicted to have emerged in South Africa during October 2020 with potential of global spread.


  CRISPR-Cas12a-Based Detection for the Major SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern.
 PMID: 34787487       2021       Microbiology spectrum
Abstract: Our results indicated that the CRISPR-Cas12a assay could readily detect the signature spike protein mutations (K417N/T, L452R/Q, T478K, E484K/Q, N501Y, and D614G) to distinguish alpha, beta, gamma, delta, kappa, lambda, and epsilon variants of SARS-CoV-2.
Introduction: It has been reported that variants with the deletion of amino acids Delta69 and 70 and K417N and E484K mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 S protein are linked to immune response evasion.
Method: The SARS-CoV-2 target sequences include (i) the wild-type (WT) gene fragment of S protein (S

Figure: (a) MS peaks of 9 MPE probes without extension; (b) target site peaks of the MPE probes extended to non-SARS-CoV-2 variants; (c) target site peaks of the MPE probes extended to SARS-CoV-2 S gene mutation plasmid 1 (containing the HV69-70del, K417N, E484K, N501Y, D614G, and P681H mutations); (d) target site peaks of the MPE probes extended to SARS-CoV-2 S gene mutation plasmid 2 (containing the L452R, E484Q, and P681R mutations).
Discussion: In this study, we developed a mPCR-MS minisequencing method that can simultaneously detect 9 mutation types in 7 mutated sites in the RBD of  PMID: 34790980       2021       bioRxiv
Abstract: Against AY.1 pseudoviruses, the L452R and K417N substitutions accounted for the loss of neutralization by four antibodies and one antibody, respectively, whereas one antibody lost potency that could not be fully accounted for by a single RBD substitution.
Abstract: The spike proteins of B.1.617.1, B.1.617.2, and AY.1 variants have several substitutions in the receptor binding domain (RBD), including L452R+E484Q, L452R+T478K, and K417N+L452R+T478K, respectively, that could potentially reduce effectiveness of therapeutic antib


  SARS-CoV-2 exposure in Malawian blood donors: an analysis of seroprevalence and variant dynamics between January 2020 and July 2021.
 PMID: 34794434       2021       BMC medicine
Method: SARS-CoV-2-pseudotyped lentiviruses were prepared by co-transfecting the HEK 293T cell line with either the SARS-CoV-2 original spike (D614G) or the SARS-CoV-2 beta spike (L18F, D80A, D215G, K417N, E484K, N501Y, D614G, A701V, 242-244 del) plasmids in conjunction with a firefly luciferase encoding pNL4 lentivirus backbone plasmid.


  SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) Variant: A Unique T478K Mutation in Receptor Binding Motif (RBM) of Spike Gene.
 PMID: 34796036       2021       Immune network
Introduction: Two mutation sites, E484K and N501Y in critical RBD are identical to that of SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant, whereas K417N does not present in SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant.

  A rigorous framework for detecting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mutational ensemble from genomic and structural features.
 PMID: 34806033       2021       Current research in structural biology
Introduction: A sub-lineage of Delta with an additional mutation, K417N is termed as AY.1 (Delta-plus).
Introduction: Another variant from South Africa (B.1.351) emerged independently with multiple mutations in the RBD (K417N and E484K) along with N501Y, however, lacked the 69/70 deletion mutations in the NTD segment.
Result: Further, for the characteristic RBD mutations across VoCs (K417 T/N, L452R, S477N, T478K, E484K, and N501Y), we observed MTR scores between 0.68 and 0.91, suggesting these substitutions to be tolerant.

Abstract: However, Lys417Asn seems to have a compensatory mechanism of action increasing the S1 RBD-ACE2 free energy of binding.
Abstract: The N501Y and K417N mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and their combination gave rise to questions, but the data on their mechanism of action at the molecular level were limited.
Abstract: The K417N mutation in a combination with N501Y fully abolished the antibody effect.
