Protein detail:


Protein name ORF1ab polyprotein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC1
Protein length 7096 amino acids
Protein description ORF1ab, the largest gene, contains overlapping open reading frames that encode polyproteins PP1ab and PP1a. The polyproteins are cleaved to yield 16 nonstructural proteins, NSP1-16. Production of the longer (PP1ab) or shorter protein (PP1a) depends on a -1 ribosomal frameshifting event. The proteins, based on similarity to other coronaviruses, include the papain-like proteinase protein (NSP3), 3C-like proteinase (NSP5), RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NSP12, RdRp), helicase (NSP13, HEL), endoRNAse (NSP15), 2'-O-Ribose-Methyltransferase (NSP16) and other nonstructural proteins. SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural proteins are responsible for viral transcription, replication, proteolytic processing, suppression of host immune responses and suppression of host gene expression. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is a target of antiviral therapies.

Title A Gapless, Unambiguous RNA Metagenome-Assembled Genome Sequence of a Unique SARS-CoV-2 Variant Encoding Spike S813I and ORF1a A859V Substitutions
Author May S Soliman, May AbdelFattah, Soad M N Aman, Lamyaa M Ibrahim, Ramy K Aziz
Evidence Other than this unique variation, the spike protein in the CU_S3 genome carries three other variations from the reference Wuhan isolate, the most popular of which is the D614G variation that is becoming prevalent worldwide (88% frequency), and two more substitutions at positions 12 and 677 of the spike protein (S12F and Q677H, Fig. 1B, C) with frequencies of -0.11% and -0.19%, respectively. Another rather rare variation is an A-to-V substitution in residue 859 of ORF1a (amino acid 41 in NSP3), the one that encodes the replicase, and that has been seen in only 45/157,853 (-0.03%) global isolates (http://cov-glue.cvr.gla.ac.uk/#/project/replacement/NSP3:A:41:V), including one from Malaysia and one from Italy (Figs. 1D and 2A), and only one from Africa/Egypt (isolate CUNCI-HGC4I031).
