Synonymous base substitution in SARS-CoV-2 EE.2 lineage furin arginine CGG–CGG codons
2023-07-06
Abstract excerpt
This work has been carried out within the framework of a study on SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein furin cleavage site evolution. The polybasic motif (originally PRRA) present at the S1/S2 junction has two arginine codons CGG–CGG, whose usage is rare in coronaviruses. It has no analogy in other “linage B” beta‐coronaviruses, including neither the Laos closest known relatives of virus behind covid. An hypothesis for t...
