Mutations in Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 Modulate Receptor Binding, Membrane Fusion and Immunogenicity: An Insight into Viral Tropism and Pathogenesis of COVID-19
2020-05-19
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 uses RBD of Spike (S) protein to attach with human cell via ACE2 receptor, followed by protease priming at S1/S2 site resulted in host cell entry and pathogenesis. In this context, we focused our aim in studying natural mutations harboring in Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. We have analyzed 420 COVID-19 cases. G476S and V483G mutation are observed which lies in the RBD region where as the prevalent D6...
