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.

Title Could mutations of SARS-CoV-2 suppress diagnostic detection?
Author Carl A Ascoli
Evidence In terms of the emerging SARS-CoV-2 strains - N501Y in South Africa9, H69/V701,2, D796H3 and D614G4 - none represent mutations that would hinder the ability of a diagnostic polyclonal antibodies to N protein to detect SARS-CoV-2. Even the strain B.1.1.7 (Fig. 1), which was identified to have 17 mutations, would be detected using such antibodies.
