Protein detail:


Protein name Spike glycoprotein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC2
Protein length 1273 amino acids
Protein description Spike protein is one of the structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2. The monomeric protein consists of one large ectodomain, a single-pass transmembrane anchor, and a short intracellular tail at C-terminus. It encompasses 22 glycosylation sites. S protein cleaves into two subunits namely S1 and S2 following receptor recognition. Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) in S1 subunit plays a major role in ACE2 receptor binding.

Evidence Sanger sequencing of the S gene was performed on three samples and analysed on SeqScape 4 software, aligned on reference sequence 20A.EU2. It showed a typical B1.1.7 variant on the first sample (April 13th); double populations: K417K/N, E484E/K and Q493Q/R on the 2nd sample (28th April), and E484K and K417N on the 3rd sample (May 8th) (Fig. 4).
