Protein detail:


Protein name Envelope Protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC4
Protein length 75 amino acids
Protein description The SARS-CoV-2 envelope (E) protein is a small structural protein involved in many aspects of the viral life cycle. The E protein promotes the packaging and reproduction of the virus, and deletion of this protein weakens or even abolishes the virulence.

Evidence Among the total 70 mutants, we found that two mutants Phe4Ala (2-EF4A) and Thr11Ala (2-ET11A) significantly alleviated cell death compared with wild-type (WT, 2-E) and other mutant channels (Fig. 4a).
