Protein detail:


Protein name Membrane Glycoprotein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC5
Protein length 222 amino acids
Protein description The membrane protein is present in high amounts out of all proteins in coronaviruses . Its length spans to about 220-260 amino acids with a short length N terminal domain, attached to triple transmembrane domains that are further connected to a carboxyl-terminal domain and belong to the N-linked glycosylated proteins with a conserved domain of 12 amino acids. Out of the three TDM, the first one is capable enough to encourage self-association of M proteins, improved membrane affinity, and retention in Golgi. The membrane protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein, is the most abundant structural protein in the virus particle and has been suggested as an antiviral drug target.

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.
