摘要:

由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病(coronavirus disease 2019,COVID-19)大流行给人类生命安全和全球经济造成了巨大冲击。SARS-CoV-2基因组的快速变异引起了广泛关注,基因组中几乎每个位点都发生过单核苷酸变异(single nucleotide variants,SNVs),其中刺突蛋白上的变异在病毒的适应性进化和传播中起着尤为关键的作用。本文综述了SARS-CoV-2及非人类动物中相关冠状病毒的系统发生关系,并深入分析了SARS-CoV-2的谱系划分以及关键氨基酸变异对病毒生物学特性的影响。此外,本文还概述了当前面临的挑战,并展望了深度突变扫描(deep mutational scanning,DMS)结合人工智能方法在预测新冠病毒变异株流行趋势中的广阔应用前景。

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has significantly impacted human life safety and the global economy. The rapid mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 genome has attracted widespread attention, with almost every site in the genome experiencing single nucleotide variants (SNVs). Among these, the mutations in the spike (S) protein are of particular importance, as they play a more critical role in the virus's adaptive evolution and transmission. In this review, we summarize the phylogenetic relationships between SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses in non-human animals, and delves into the lineage classification of SARS-CoV-2 and the impact of key amino acid variations on viral biological characteristics. Furthermore, it outlines the current challenges and looks forward to the promising application of deep mutational scanning (DMS) combined with artificial intelligence methods in predicting the prevalence trends of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
