Result: In order to verify these results experimentally, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan), SARS-CoV-2 P681H (Alpha), and SARS-CoV-2 P681R (Delta), SARS-CoV-2 N679K (C.1.2), and SARS-CoV-2 N679K P681R (Omicron) peptides were synthesized and incubated with the indicat


  Isolation and Genomic Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant Obtained from Human Clinical Specimens.
 PMID: 35336868       2022       Viruses
Introduction: Omicron has posed a serious public health concern due to the mutations/deletions associated with increased binding affinity to ACE2 (S:Q498R and S:N501Y), increased transmissibility (S:H655Y, S:N679K, and S:P681H), increased viral load (N:R203K and N:G204R), innate immune evasion (ORF1a:L3674-, ORF1a:S3675-, and ORF1a:G3676), and S-gene target failure (S:H69-).


  Circulation of SARS-CoV-2 Variants among Children from November 2020 to January 2022 in Trieste (Italy).
 PMID: 35336187       2022       Microorganisms
Result: Finally, 1/32 sequence was the Omicron strain, with the following mutations in the RBD domain: T22882G (N440K), G22898A (G446S), G22992A (S477N), C22995A (T478K), A23013C (E484A), A23040G (Q493R), G23048A (G496S), A23055G (Q498R), A23063T (N501Y), T23075C ( PMID: 35333910       2022       PloS one
Abstract: None of the mutations increased but several decreased S protein cleavage at the S1/S2 site, including S686G and P681H, the latter of which is found in variants of concern B.1.1.7 (Alpha variant) and B.1.1.529 (Omicron variant).
Discussion: A total of five mutations (P681H, P681L, A684S, S686G, V687L) were found to be associated with reduced S protein cleavage, with mutation S686G showing the lowest level of S protein cleavage.
Discussion: In contrast, Lubinski and colleagues and the present study demonstrate that P681H, which is found in the

  Coronavirus Genomes and Unique Mutations in Structural and Non-Structural Proteins in Pakistani SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variants during the Fourth Wave of the Pandemic.
 PMID: 35328105       2022       Genes
Introduction: The P681H and D614G mutations have been thought to be responsible for the B.1.1.7 increased transmissibility.
Introduction: The P681H and P681R improve S protein fusion to the host cell.
Introduction: The P681H mutations have been found in the B.1.1.7, B.1.1.318, and P.3, whereas mutation P681R has been found in the A.23.1 lineages and all B.1.617 variants.


  SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant: Immune escape and vaccine development.
 PMID: 35317190       2022       MedComm
Introduction: Another example is the P681H mutation located in the furin protease cleavage site.
Introduction: Specifically, BA.1 and BA.2 display 20 identical spike mutations, which are G339D, S373P, S375F, K417N, N440K, S477N, T478K, E484A, Q493R, Q498R, N501Y, Y505H, D614G, H655Y, N679K, P681H, N764K,

Introduction: A similar mutation, P681H, has been identified in B.1.1.7, which were reported to promote cleavage of the S protein precursor and affect O-glycosylation of the spike protein, but may not substantially impact viral entry or cell-cell spread.


  Design of SARS-CoV-2 Variant-Specific PCR Assays Considering Regional and Temporal Characteristics.
 PMID: 35285246       2022       Applied and environmental microbiology
Result: As a result, for the Alpha variant, we identified nine mutations in the spike gene: S:Delta69/70, S:Delta144, S:N510Y, S:A570D, S:D614G, S:P681H, S:T716I, S:S982A, and S:D1118H.
Result: To further confirm whether the RT-qPCR results were correct, we conducted NGS analysis to examine eight mutation markers for the Alpha variant (S:Delta69/70,
