SARS_CoV_2 mutation literature information.


  Genomic surveillance reveals the detection of SARS-CoV-2 delta, beta, and gamma VOCs during the third wave in Pakistan.
 PMID: 34726786       2021       Journal of medical virology
Introduction: Interestingly, the gamma and beta lineages share three common mutations (K417N/T, E484K, and N501Y) in spike protein.
Introduction: The K417N/T, E484K, and N501Y mutations significantly decreased the neutralizing activity of convalescent and messenger RNA vaccine-induced serum.
Introduction: The gamma variant was first detected in Manaus, Brazil in November, 2020 with the following lineage-defining mutations: E484K, K417T, and N501Y.


  Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Variants N501Y.V1 and N501Y.V2 Spike on Viral Infectivity.
 PMID: 34722330       2021       Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
Introduction: Interestingly, N501Y.V3 (also known as P.1) lineage in Brazil almost has the same three RBD mutations as N501Y.V2 lineage, except for the K417N/T substitution.
Discussion: Indeed, N501Y.V3 lineage includes three mutations in the RBD region (K417T, E484K and N501Y), and it almost has the same three mutations present in RBD as N501Y.V2 lineage, except for K417N/T substitution.


  Ten emerging SARS-CoV-2 spike variants exhibit variable infectivity, animal tropism, and antibody neutralization.
 PMID: 34645933       2021       Communications biology
Result: K417N/T and N501Y also cause minor changes in local structure, which further weakens the affinity between CDRL and RBD, especially Y503 on RBD.
Result: K417N/T destroys the salt bridge, thus reducing the affinity significantly.
Result: Additionally, the K417N/T mutation caused reduced neutralization activity involving five mAbs (1F9, 2H10, 10D12, CB6, and A247), whereas it increased the neutralization sensitivity of one mAb (A261-262) for more than ten times.
