  Emergence and phenotypic characterization of the global SARS-CoV-2 C.1.2 lineage.
 PMID: 35396511       2022       Nature communications
Method: The SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-1 spike, cloned into pCDNA3.1, was mutated using the QuikChange Lightning Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies) and NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix (NEB) to include D614G (wild-type) or lineage defining mutations for Beta (L18F,
Result: Additional substitutions include P25L (in ~43% of viruses) and W152R (in ~7%) in the NTD, T478K (~17%) in the RBM, L585F (~17%) in S1, P681H (~8%) adjacent to the furin cleavage site, A879T (~7%), D936H (~5%), and H1101Q (~8%) in S2, with additional amino acid changes detected in less than 5% of viruses.

  Origin of the tight binding mode to ACE2 triggered by multi-point mutations in the omicron variant: a dynamic insight.
 PMID: 35373810       2022       Physical chemistry chemical physics
Abstract: Multi-point mutations in the Omicron variant RBD could cause the conformation shift in the large Loop (where T478K and E484A are located), which makes it easier to wrap the N-terminal helix of ACE2 and form tighter contacts.
Abstract: This was due to the large number of positively charged patches (N440K, T478K, Q493R, Q498R, and Y505H) formed by the substitution of neutral amino acids at multiple sites.

Introduction: The amino acid substitutions in the spike protein of the Delta variant, such as D614G, T478K, P681R and L452R, are known to affect transmissibility and neutralization.
Method: Delta AY.1 variant had D614G, E156G, F157del,  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: 35233566       2022       Research square
Abstract: To build an investigative framework, we have applied an unsupervised machine learning approach to 4296 Omicron viral genomes collected and deposited to GISAID as of December 14, 2021, and have identified a core haplotype of 28 polymutants (A67V, T95I, G339D, R346K, Introduction: Most of these mutations (G339D, N440K, G446S, S477N, T478K, E484A, Q493R, G496S, Q498R, N501Y, Y505H) present on the RBD surface.

  Insights from computational analysis: how does the SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) variant hijack ACE2 more effectively?
 PMID: 35364605       2022       Physical chemistry chemical physics
Abstract: The results showed that the existence of L452R and T478K mutations can trigger the effective hijacking of ACE2 by the Delta variant through the following three ways: (i) these two mutations can significantly enhance the electrostatic energy of the system by the introduction of two positively charged amino acids (Arg and Lys), thereby increasing the binding affinity of RBD and ACE2, (ii) the Loops 1, 3, and 4 in the receptor-binding motif (RBM) of RBD form a tighter conformation under the dominance of the T478K mutation, allowing ACE2 to be captured more effectively than the wild-type system, and (iii) these conformational changes lead to a more stable hydrogen bond in the Delta variant, which further ensures the stability of the binding.
