Attenuated replication and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 Omicron

Huiping Shuai et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 shows reduced replication ability in human cells and attenuated pathogenicity in mice compared with the wild-type strain and other variants. It has lower efficiency in using TMPRSS2 and causes the lowest reduction in body weight and mortality rate among the tested strains.

Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness

Jessica A. Plante et al.

Summary: The D614G substitution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enhances viral replication and infectivity in human lung epithelial cells, primary airway tissues, and hamsters. This variant may increase transmission in the upper respiratory tract and doesn't seem to significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. Further research on therapeutic antibodies targeting the circulating G614 virus is recommended.

Evaluating the Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Mutation D614G on Transmissibility and Pathogenicity

Erik Volz et al.

Summary: The study suggests a positive selection for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G in the UK, but no evidence of differences in COVID-19 mortality or clinical severity in patients infected with this variant. 614G is associated with higher viral load and younger age of patients compared to 614D.

ORF3a of SARS-CoV-2 promotes lysosomal exocytosis-mediated viral egress

Di Chen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a promotes lysosomal exocytosis, enhancing viral release, while this mechanism is absent in SARS-CoV ORF3a. Specific residues are identified as crucial for promoting lysosomal exocytosis.

Structure of SARS-CoV-2 ORF8, a rapidly evolving immune evasion protein

Thomas G. Flower et al.

Summary: The crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 was determined at 2.04-angstrom resolution by X-ray crystallography, revealing unique dimerization interfaces that may allow the protein to form large-scale assemblies, potentially mediating immune suppression and evasion activities.

Immunological characteristics govern the transition of COVID-19 to endemicity

Jennie S. Lavine et al.

Summary: The study suggests that infection-blocking immunity to SARS-CoV-2 wanes rapidly while disease-reducing immunity is long-lived. The model predicts that once reaching endemic phase, SARS-CoV-2 may become no more virulent than the common cold. However, a different outcome is predicted for an emergent coronavirus causing severe disease in children.

The Missing Expression Level-Evolutionary Rate Anticorrelation in Viruses Does Not Support Protein Function as a Main Constraint on Sequence Evolution

Changshuo Wei et al.

Summary: The main goal in molecular evolutionary biology is to determine the sources of variation in the rate of sequence evolution among proteins. Gene expression level is widely accepted as the primary determinant of protein evolutionary rate, scaling with the extent of selective constraints imposed on a protein. Studying viral protein sequence evolution may help overcome challenges in distinguishing the effects of deleterious mutations on protein function versus cytotoxicity.

SARS-CoV-2 spike D614G change enhances replication and transmission

Bin Zhou et al.

Summary: Research has shown that the D614G substitution in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 leads to increased binding and replication potential in humans, as well as significantly higher replication and transmissibility in different animal models, providing an explanation for the global prevalence of this variant in the COVID-19 pandemic.

An Evolutionary Portrait of the Progenitor SARS-CoV-2 and Its Dominant Offshoots in COVID-19 Pandemic

Sudhir Kumar et al.

Summary: Global sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 genomes has uncovered the genetic variants that contribute to its early evolutionary history and global spread. A likely common ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 was identified, showing that the virus had spread worldwide months before the first reported cases in China. The same coronavirus lineage dominated North America in 2020, while Europe and Asia saw multiple replacements of predominant strains.

SARS-CoV-2 gene content and COVID-19 mutation impact by comparing 44 Sarbecovirus genomes

Irwin Jungreis et al.

Summary: Despite the clinical importance, the SARS-CoV-2 gene set remains unresolved, hindering dissection of COVID-19 biology. By comparing 44 Sarbecovirus genomes, a high-confidence protein-coding gene set is provided, characterizing protein-level and nucleotide-level evolutionary constraints, and prioritizing functional mutations from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The origins and potential future of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in the evolving COVID-19 pandemic

Sarah P. Otto et al.

Summary: After a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, attention has shifted to the emergence and spread of variants of concern (VOCs) of SARS-CoV-2. These variants have shown detrimental effects on virus transmission and severity, prompting global efforts to understand their impact on disease control and public health interventions. Efforts are being made to explore the evolutionary processes involved in the emergence of new variants and to minimize their impact on the ongoing pandemic.

Ongoing global and regional adaptive evolution of SARS-CoV-2

Nash D. Rochman et al.

Summary: The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic is primarily characterized by purifying selection, with a small number of sites evolving under positive selection. Variants in the spike protein's receptor-binding domain and the nucleocapsid protein region with NLS are enriched with positively selected amino acid replacements. These replacements form a connected network of apparent epistatic interactions and are indicators of major partitions in the SARS-CoV-2 phylogeny. The global virus diversity has been steadily increasing, with distinct periods based on phylogenetic distances and key mutations.

SARS-CoV-2 N protein promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation to induce hyperinflammation

Pan Pan et al.

Summary: This study reveals a unique mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 N protein promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to excessive inflammatory responses. The interaction between N protein and NLRP3 enhances the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome by facilitating binding with ASC.
