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.

Title 501Y.V2 and 501Y.V3 variants of SARS-CoV-2 lose binding to bamlanivimab in vitro
Author Haolin Liu,Pengcheng Wei,Qianqian Zhang,Zhongzhou Chen,Katja Aviszus
Evidence To our surprise, the interaction between the mutant RBD containing three mutations, N417/K484/Y501-RBD, and bamlanivimab, was completely abolished (Figure 2(a)). However, the binding between N417/Y501-RBD and antibody remains the same as those between wildtype N501-RBD or mutated Y501-RBD and the antibody with binding affinities of 0.976 nM (Figure 2(b)), 0.874 nM and 0.801 nM, respectively.Furthermore, when the E484K mutation is introduced, the binding between K484/Y501-RBD and the antibody is completely abolished (Figure 2(a) and (c)).
