Snippet: The models of spike glycoprotein from each clade were built. It was observed that the amino acid substitutions observed by multiple alignments appeared to be randomly distributed throughout the structure ( Figure 6 ). Based on the model, we did not observe specific evolutionary patterns of the MERS-CoV spike protein. However, intriguingly, the residue at position 1020 can distinguish between clade A and B (Figure 4 ). The glutamine (Q1020) and ar.....
Document: The models of spike glycoprotein from each clade were built. It was observed that the amino acid substitutions observed by multiple alignments appeared to be randomly distributed throughout the structure ( Figure 6 ). Based on the model, we did not observe specific evolutionary patterns of the MERS-CoV spike protein. However, intriguingly, the residue at position 1020 can distinguish between clade A and B (Figure 4 ). The glutamine (Q1020) and arginine residues (R1020) at that position are highly conserved in clade A and clade B, respectively, except for a histidine residue (H1020) found in 12 lineage B5 strains. Together with results from selective pressure analysis, this suggests that this amino acid residue may play a role during the molecular evolution of S protein of MERS-CoV and divergence of different lineages.
