Viral infection and transmission in a large, well-traced outbreak caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant

Baisheng Li et al.

Summary: This article reports the first local transmission of the Delta variant in mainland China. Compared to A/B lineage infections during the first wave in China in early 2020, Delta infections had viral loads that were on average about 1000 times greater when they first tested positive, suggesting potentially faster viral replication and greater infectiousness during early infection. The transmission bottleneck size of the Delta variant was generally narrow, with 1-3 virions in most donor-recipient transmission pairs. However, transmission of minor intra-host variants resulted in at least 3 of the 34 substitutions identified in the outbreak, highlighting the contribution of intra-host variants to population-level viral diversity during rapid spread.

Interactions of the Receptor Binding Domain of SARS-CoV-2 Variants with hACE2: Insights from Molecular Docking Analysis and Molecular Dynamic Simulation

Ismail Celik et al.

Summary: Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in late 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has continuously evolved, giving rise to multiple variants. Through protein-protein interaction studies, we investigated how five SARS-CoV-2 variants interact with the hACE2 receptor in host cells, finding that these variations impact the binding of the spike protein to hACE2.

Dynamics and electrostatics define an allosteric druggable site within the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Sayan Bhattacharjee et al.

Summary: The pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 virus involves recognition of host cells' ACE2 receptor by the RBD on the virus spikes. Molecular dynamics simulations show allosteric crosstalk within the RBD, influenced by correlated motions and electrostatic energy perturbations. This communication pathway is evolutionarily conserved among related coronaviruses, suggesting potential as a target for drug development.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

The biological and clinical significance of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants

Kaiming Tao et al.

Summary: The emergence of multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants has significant impacts on the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased virus transmission rates, heightened risk of reinfection, and reduced effectiveness of neutralizing antibodies and vaccines. These variants have introduced new challenges to COVID-19 research, necessitating additional avenues of laboratory, epidemiological, and clinical studies.

Marcos Gil-Garcia et al.

Summary: Computational tools have been developed to identify prion-like proteins in different species, showing that the prion phenomenon is well conserved. These proteins are not only linked to the formation of protein-nucleic acid coacervates, but also associated with human diseases.

Abbas Khan et al.

Summary: The new SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.618, with mutations in the RBD and NTD, shows increased pathogenicity and decreased affinity to monoclonal antibodies. Further studies are needed to develop effective therapies for this antibody-escaping variant.
