Membrane fusion and immune evasion by the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant

Jun Zhang et al.

Summary: The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 is more efficient at fusing membranes at low levels of cellular receptor ACE2, possibly contributing to its heightened transmissibility. Each variant shows different rearrangement of the antigenic surface of the S protein, but only the changes in the RBD make it a better target for therapeutic antibodies.

Summary: The study investigated the detection of total and subgenomic RNA of SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab samples and their relationship to symptom duration. Results showed that subgenomic RNA levels declined linearly with total RNA levels, with a constant relationship over the duration of symptoms. This suggests that subgenomic RNA may not provide additional information on infectivity beyond what can be determined by total RNA copies.

Summary: With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with increased transmissibility and immune escape, targeted surveillance is urgently needed. The B.1.1.7 variant can be detected by a specific deletion in the spike gene, but other variants like B.1.351 and P.1 cannot. An open-source PCR assay targeting a deletion in the ORF1a gene has been designed and validated to enhance surveillance for these variants.
