Abstract: Furthermore,
NSP12 323L variant, encoded by the SARS-CoV-2
C14408T variant first detected in Lombardy, Italy, that carries a
Pro323Leu amino acid substitution in
NSP12, showed increased ability to activate RIPK1.
Result: To determine the functional significance of the differential interaction mediated by the original variant
NSP12 323P and
NSP12 323L encoded by the
C14408T variant with RIPK1, we isolated a virus strain carrying the
C14408T (
NSP12 P323L) mutation from a patient nasopharyngeal swab.
