Introduction: The B.1.351 and P.1 variants also contain mutation at the spike amino acid position 484 (E484K) and at position 417 (K417N for B.1.351; K417T for P.1).

Epitope diversity of SARS-CoV-2 hyperimmune intravenous human immunoglobulins and neutralization of variants of concern.
Discussion: It is notable that these affinity-reducing K417N/T mutations have only emerged together with mutations (N501Y and E484K) that increase the affinity of RBD for ACE2, suggesting a cooperative effect between mutations that enhance immune escape and mutations that increase affinity.
Discussion: Our affinity and kinetic data on RBD variants are broadly consistent with some, but not all, recent reports on the K417T/N, N501Y, and E484K variants.
Discussion: Our finding that the K417N/T mutations present in Beta and Gamma variants decrease the affinity of RBD

Introduction: The variant P.1, originally reported in Brazil, harbors N501Y, E484K, K417T mutations in the S protein.
Impact of Full Vaccination with mRNA BNT162b2 on SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Genomic and Subgenomic Viral RNAs Detection in Nasopharyngeal Swab and Saliva of Health Care Workers.
Abstract: Moreover, concordance was observed between NPS and saliva in the detection of viral mutations, and both N501Y and 69/70del (associated with the B.1.1.7 variant) were detected in the majority 6/8 (75%) of subjects, while the K417T mutation (associated with the P.1-type variants) was detected in 2/8 (25%) individuals.
Method: Moreover, the RT-PCR method was used for the analysis of known viral mutations using the REALQUALITY SARS-CoV-2 Variants (AB ANALITICA, Padova, Italy) (targeting N501Y, K417T and K417N) and SARS-CoV-2 Nucleic Acid Mutation Diagnostic kit (Sansure Biotech Inc, Hunan, China) (targeting N501Y and HV69/70del), following the manufacturers' instructions.
Discussion: Two others that were symptomatic (one with myalgia and the B.1.1.7 variant, and one wi

Introduction: These SARS-CoV-2 VOCs have acquired some of the same spike protein mutations independently, particularly E484K, N501Y, S477N, and K417T, which have been associated with increased viral transmission and/or decreased sensitivity to antibody neutralization.
