Structural and Functional Analysis of the D614G SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variant

L. Yurkovetskiy, X. Wang, K. E. Pascal, C. Tompkins-Tinch, T. Nyalile, Y. Wang, A. Baum, W. E. Diehl, A. Dauphin, C. Carbone, K. Veinotte, S. B. Egri, S. F. Schaffner, J. E. Lemieux, J. Munro, , J. Luban

This study shows the D614G SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant is more infectious but has reduced ACE2 affinity and altered trimer conformation, affecting viral entry and antibody neutralization.

Reporter assays for Ebola virus nucleoprotein oligomerization, virion-like particle budding, and minigenome activity reveal the importance of nucleoprotein amino acid position 111

A. E. Lin, W. E. Diehl, Y. Cai, C. L. Finch, C. Akusobi, R. N. Kirchdoerfer, L. Bollinger, S. F. Schaffner, E. A. Brown, E. O. Saphire, K. G. Andersen, J. H. Kuhn, J. Luban, P. C. Sabeti

The paper develops reporter assays to study Ebola virus nucleoprotein (NP) function and finds that amino acid position 111 affects oligomerization, virion budding, and transcription/replication.
