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 Variant analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes in the Middle East
Author Khalid Mubarak Bindaynaa, Shane Crinionb
Evidence We identified 2200 distinct genome variants which are recorded in Table 1 . The most common, high impact variants were 10818delTinsG, 2772delCinsC, 14159delCinsC and 2789delAinsA. The frequency of each unique variant type can be found in Table 2 , which outlines the locus of all SNPs with over 50 instances.
