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 Identification of novel mutations in SARS-CoV-2 isolates from Turkey
Author Shazia Rehman, Tariq Mahmood, Ejaz Aziz, Riffat Batool
Evidence Based on mutation analysis, 59 out of 80 isolates from Turkey contained a signature 23,403A-G (D614G) mutation in the spike glycoprotein (S), which is clearly indicative of a very frequent mutation (73%). Most samples with the D614G mutation were strongly associated with two other mutations (3037 C-T and 14,408C-T) in ORF1ab region (Table1).
