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.

Spike Glycoprotein and Host Cell Determinants of SARS-CoV-2 Entry and Cytopathic Effects

Hanh T. Nguyen et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein has evolved features such as the furin cleavage site and D614G mutation to balance virus infectivity, stability, cytopathicity, and antibody vulnerability, while the endodomain of the S2 subunit is not essential for virus entry or syncytium formation. Metalloprotease inhibitors can suppress S-mediated cell-cell fusion, but not virus entry, suggesting a role for host proteases in activating the S glycoprotein during syncytium formation. This understanding of SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein interactions with host cells provides insights into virus transmission and pathogenicity.

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.

D614G Mutation Alters SARS-CoV-2 Spike Conformation and Enhances Protease Cleavage at the S1/S2 Junction

Sophie M-C Gobeil et al.

Summary: The study found that the mutation variant G614 of SARS-CoV-2 leads to significant changes in the protein structure, resulting in altered positioning ratio of RBD, which may have implications for vaccine design.

Genomic epidemiology reveals multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 from mainland Europe into Scotland

Ana da Silva Filipe et al.

Summary: Genomic epidemiology analysis revealed multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 into Scotland from mainland Europe, especially Italy and Spain, during the first wave of COVID-19. Early introductions led to community outbreaks, healthcare facility transmission, and an outbreak at an international conference. Earlier implementation of travel restrictions and quarantine measures could have reduced the number of COVID-19 cases in Scotland.

Detection of a SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern in South Africa

Houriiyah Tegally et al.

Summary: The article describes a newly emerged lineage of SARS-CoV-2, 501Y.V2, characterized by eight mutations in the spike protein, which may result in increased transmissibility or immune escape. This lineage originated in South Africa and quickly became dominant in Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and KwaZuluNatal provinces within weeks.

Alternate primers for whole-genome SARS-CoV-2 sequencing

Matthew Cotten et al.

Summary: Efforts are being made globally to control the spread and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 by sequencing its genome, but a significant percentage of generated genomes each month have gaps, reducing their information content. This study identifies the frequencies and positions of these genome gaps and provides a new primer set and sequencing scheme to enhance the quality and coverage of the genomes.

Alternate primers for whole-genome SARS-CoV-2 sequencing

Matthew Cotten et al.

Summary: Global efforts to sequence the SARS-CoV-2 genome are hindered by gaps in approximately 19 to 43 per cent of monthly generated sequences. This study provides an alternative primer set and sequencing scheme to improve the quality and coverage of genomes, aiding in the development of effective control measures.
