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.

Evidence A total of 3,919 mutations were detected across the 2,731 Brazilian genomes and only 354 (12.96%) occurred in >5 sequences, 44 (1.61%) in > 50 genomes, and 38 (1.39%) in > 100 sequences (Fig. 2 , Table 1 ). Twenty-five (65.79%) of these 38 mutations were non-synonymous. Of these, 11 (44.0%) were in the spike protein, 5 (20.0%) in the nucleocapsid protein, and 5 (20.0%) in the ORF1ab polyprotein (Table 1).
