The emergence and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by the occurrence of diverse sets of mutations that affect virus characteristics, including transmissibility and antigenicity. Recent studies have focused mostly on Spike protein mutations; however, SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest (VoI) or concern (VoC) contain significant mutations in the nucleocapsid protein as well. To study the relevance of the mutations at the virion level, recombinant baculovirus expression system based VLPs were generated for the prototype Wuhan sequence along with Spike mutants like D614G, G1124V and the significant RG203KR mutation in Nucleocapsid. All the four structural proteins assembled in a particle wherein the morphology and size of the particle confirmed by TEM closely resembles the native virion. The VLP harbouring RG203KR mutations in nucleocapsid exhibited augmentation of humoral immune responses and enhanced neutralization by the immunized mice sera. Results demonstrate a non-infectious platform to quickly assess the implication of mutations in structural proteins of the emerging variant.

As a result of the inability to resolve the heterogeneous mixture of G protein beta gamma subunits present in tissues, it has not been possible to compare different beta gamma subunits of the G proteins in terms of their proposed roles in receptor-effector coupling. This study was undertaken to establish the utility of the baculovirus expression system in producing homogeneous beta gamma subunits of defined composition for the comparative analysis of these subunits in reconstitution systems. In this study we report the expression, and appropriate post-translational processing, of recombinant beta 2, gamma 2 and gamma 3 subunits. In addition, we show that the recombinant beta gamma subunits can be readily purified, and can functionally interact with the alpha subunits of the G proteins.
