Result: The
A222V change is predicted to decrease the motility of the
N-terminal of
Spike protein (NTD), while the
S477N and
V1176F variants are predicted to increase the motility of the
Receptor Binding Domain (
RBD) and Stalk domain of the
Spike protein, respectively (Figure 2E).
Result: Two
spike protein substitutions from European outbreaks containing Ala > Val (
A222V, viral frequency = 17%) and Ser > Asn (
S477N, viral frequency = 6.2%) including one Val > Phe substitution from a Brazilian outbreak (
V1176F, viral frequency = 0.22%) readily changed

Result: We additionally observed the
D614G mutation in the
spike, as well as the mutation
G25088T (
V1176F).
Result: We also highlight the presence of the two mutations:
D614G and
V1176F:in the
spike gene in all analyzed P.1 and P.2 variants of this study.
