Right on cue - nonSpike protein nsp6 @Andrew Rambaut as predicted - the deletion is in a large external loop - very likely to impact nsp6 function or regulation!

A lot of good stuff here Bob - thanks! And for Nelly, maybe we're too focused on spike alone...

TM domain 4 has the seemingly odd arginine. This is a sign of dimerization. That and the fact that the loop connectsto this TM domain raises the suspicion these are part of the business/regulatory bits of the protein.

AS for S477N - it would not surprise me to find that it's a contact residue with ACE2 - the ACE2 structures lack the nterminus (blue arrow) so plenty of opportunity for interactions.
