Structural and molecular basis of the epistasis effect in enhanced affinity between SARS-CoV-2 KP.3 and ACE2
2024-09-04
Abstract excerpt
The recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants KP.2 and KP.3 has been marked by mutations F456L/R346T and F456L/Q493E, respectively, which significantly impact the virus’s interaction with human ACE2 and its resistance to neutralizing antibodies. KP.3, featuring F456L and Q493E, exhibits a markedly enhanced ACE2 binding affinity compared to KP.2 and the JN.1 variant due to synergistic effects between these mutations....
