Result: The III wave was characterized by the appearance of the subset of mutations that distinguish the B.1.1.7 lineage such as H69_V70del, Y144del, N501Y, A570D, P681H, T716I, S982A, and D1118H.

A Genomic Snapshot of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic in the Balearic Islands.
Discussion: This lineage is defined by 14 amino acid changes and three deletions, including six amino acid substitutions and two deletions in the spike protein: S:DeltaH69-V70, S:DeltaY144, S:N501Y, S:A570D, S:P681H, S:T716I, S:S982A, and S:D1118H and it has been related with some evolutionary advantages such as an increased transmissibility.
Glycan Masking of Epitopes in the NTD and RBD of the Spike Protein Elicits Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants.
Introduction: The Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant encodes an S protein with nine mutations (del 69-70, Del 144, N501Y, A570D, D614G, P681H, T716I, S982A, and D1118H), of which N501Y is in the receptor-binding domain (RBD).
Heterologous prime-boost immunizations with chimpanzee adenoviral vectors elicit potent and protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Method: pS-B.1.1.7 and pS-B.1.351 plasmids were constructed with mutant S genes expressing the spike protein of the B.1.1.7 variant (GenBank: QQH18545.1, containing the H69, V70, and Y145 deletions and N501Y, A570D, D614G, P681H, T716I, S982A, and D1118H mutations) and B.1.351 variant (GenBank: QRI43207.1, containing the L242, A243, and L244 deletions and L18F, D80A, D215G, S305T, K417N, E484K, N501Y, D614G
Result: Indeed, all of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 genomes analyzed in our cohort contained all the so-called signature mutations in the Spike glycoprotein, including p.H69-V70del, p.Y144del, p.N501Y, p.A570D, p.P681H, p.T716I, p.S982A, and p.D1118H.
SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) Variant: A Unique T478K Mutation in Receptor Binding Motif (RBM) of Spike Gene.
Method: The SARS-CoV-2 target sequences include (i) the wild-type (WT) gene fragment of S protein (S; nucleotides [nt] 21,563 to 25,384; GenBank accession number MN908947); (ii) the mutant gene fragments of S protein, including mutations L5F, D80A, D215G, R246I, K417N, L452R/Q, Y453F, T478K, E484Q/K, N501Y, A570D, D614G, P681H, A701V, T716I,

Result: In contrast, T716I, A570D, D118H and A701V mutations caused a modest reduction in viral infectivity.
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.
Discussion: Pseudovirion with HV69-70 deletion could enhance the infectivity of the virus, while single-site mutation T716I, A570D,
