Protein detail:


Protein name ORF8 protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DTC8
Protein length 121 amino acids
Protein description The SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 gene spans 366 nucleotides (nt), is located between position 27,894 and 28,259 of the virus genome, following the ORF7b and preceding the N genes, respectively. The ORF8 gene is part of a hypervariable genomic region of - 430 bp in length that has been recognized as a recombination hotspot, also highly susceptible to deletions and nt substitutions. ORF8 protein comprehends an N-terminal signal peptide for transmembrane (TM) import and secretion, an internal -sandwich core and a C-terminal TM region followed by a stretch of basic residues.

Title A hijack mechanism of Indian SARS-CoV-2 isolates for relapsing contemporary antiviral therapeutics
Author R. Prathiviraj, S. Saranya, M. Bharathi, and P. Chellapandi
Evidence Forty-one protein mutations were identified in 12 Indian SARS-CoV-2 isolates by analysis of genome variations across 460 genome sequences obtained from 30 geographic sites in India. Two unique mutations such as W6152R and N5928H found in exonuclease of Surat (GBRC275b) and Gandhinagar (GBRC239) isolates
