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 Of 2311 samples at CSMC, 192 were selected and 185 (67 inpatient; 118 outpatient) underwent phylogenetic analysis, along with 1480 representative genomes using Nextstrain. A diverse set of lineages with 2 main clusters was identified (Figure 1). The smaller of the 2 clusters was from the 20G lineage and accounted for 22% (40 of 185) of the samples. The larger cluster (36%; 67 of 185) consisted of a novel variant descended from cluster 20C, defined by 5 mutations (ORF1a: I4205V, ORF1b: D1183Y, S: S13I; W152C; L452R) and designated CAL.20C (20C/S:452R; /B.1.429).
