Abstract: METHODS: We created a broad set of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-assays including del-Y144/145, E484K, E484Q, P681H
Introduction: Spike gene mutations such as N501Y, E484K/Q, L452R, and P681H/R have occurred independently in multiple VOCs and VOIs (variants of interest), enabling dynamic adaptation of existing assay designs to detect emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Discussion: For example, the recently emerged B.1.617 (first detected in India) lineages feature E484Q (only B.1.617.1/3) and P681R SNPs instead of the more common E484K and P681H.
Biological Significance of the Genomic Variation and Structural Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.
Introduction: L452R is located in the RBD, and P681H or P681R is located in the furin cleavage site.
Introduction: Some of the aa changes or similar ones in B.1.617 were also identified in other circulating lineages: D614G was also found in B.1 lineage, L452R in B.1.526 (Iota), and P681H in B.1.1.7 (Alpha).
SARS-CoV-2 variant with mutations in N gene affecting detection by widely used PCR primers.
Result: hCoV-19/Finland/FinD796H/2021 had a very uncommon combination of the S protein mutations, as only 0,04% (535/1204022) of complete genome sequences deposited to Gisaid at 23.4.2021 had a similar combination (S:T95I, S: 144del, S:E484K, S:D614G, S:P681H, and S:D796D&H).
Temporal-Geographical Dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein Variant Lineages and Their Functional Prediction Using in Silico Approach.
Result: Among the amino acid mutations found in circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, E484Q/K, P681H/R/L/S, P936Y/N/H, D950H/A/N, and D1118H/Y had a lower T cell immunogenicity than the prototype and S-D614G mutant (Table S1).
Result: At least 3,776 S protein variants belonging to alpha (B.1.1.7) variant lineage were identified, in which all contain 2 deletion events (amino acids 69 to 70 and 144) and 7 mutations (N501Y, A570D, D614G, P681H, T716I, S982A

Result: No significant change was found in binding energy as well as in interactions for the spike protein mutants P681L, P681H, P681S, P681T, R682W, R682Q, R682L, R683Q, R683P, R683L, A684E, A684P, A684T, A684S, A684V, R685C, R685G, and R685S.

Result: The results indicated that pseudovirions bearing HV69-70 deletion, 144 deletion, E484K, D614G, P681H, S982A or D1118H single-site mutations were more stable than SARS-CoV-2 WT, whereas A570D and T716I mutations decrease the stability of SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirion.
Figure: The S protein of N501Y.V1 include nine mutations (HV69-70 del, 144 del, N501Y, D614G, P681H, T716I, S982A, and D1118H), N501Y.V2 include ten mutations (

Abstract: We present new insight into key mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7 (P681H) and B.1.617.2 (P681R), which may impact on neuropilin 1 (NRP1) binding and CNS invasion.

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.
