The envelope (E) protein is the smallest and least well-characterized of the four major structural proteins found in coronavirus virions. [2] [3] [4] It is an integral membrane protein less than 110 amino acid residues long; [2] in SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of Covid-19, the E protein is 75 residues long. [5]
The M protein is a transmembrane protein with three transmembrane domains and is around 230 amino acid residues long. [8] [9] In SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, the M protein is 222 residues long. [10] Its membrane topology orients the C-terminus toward the cytosolic face of the membrane and thus into the interior of the virion.
[2] [3] The N protein is the most highly expressed of the four major coronavirus structural proteins. [2] In addition to its interactions with RNA, N forms protein-protein interactions with the coronavirus membrane protein (M) during the process of viral assembly. [2] [3] N also has additional functions in manipulating the cell cycle of the ...

The 3C-like protease (3CL pro) or main protease (M pro), formally known as C30 endopeptidase or 3-chymotrypsin-like protease, [2] is the main protease found in coronaviruses. It cleaves the coronavirus polyprotein at eleven conserved sites. It is a cysteine protease and a member of the PA clan of proteases.
ORF3a (previously known as X1 or U274) [2] is a gene found in coronaviruses of the subgenus Sarbecovirus, including SARS-CoV [3] [2] and SARS-CoV-2. [1] [4] It encodes an accessory protein about 275 amino acid residues long, which is thought to function as a viroporin. [1]

Analysis of samples from Maharashtra had revealed that compared to December 2020, there was an increase in the fraction of samples with the E484Q and L452R mutations. [2] Lineage B.1.617 later came to be dubbed a double mutant by news media. [3] Lineage B.1.617 has three sublineages according to the PANGO nomenclature:
