RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Rapid transmission and reproduction of RNA viruses prepare conducive conditions to have a high rate of mutations in their genetic sequence. The viral mutations make adapt the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in the host environment and help the evolution of the virus then also caused a high mortality rate by the virus that threatens worldwide health. Mutations and adaptation help the virus to escape confrontations that are done against it. METHODS: In the present study, we analyzed 6,510,947 sequences of non-structural protein 1 as one of the conserved regions of the virus to find out frequent mutations and substitute amino acids in comparison with the wild type. NSP1 mutations rate divided into continents were different. RESULTS: Based on this continental categorization, E87D in global vision and also in Europe notably increased. The E87D mutation has signed up to January 2022 as the first frequent mutation observed. The remarkable mutations, H110Y and R24C have the second and third frequencies, respectively. CONCLUSION: According to the important role of non-structural protein 1 on the host mRNA translation, developing drug design against the protein could be so hopeful to find more effective ways the control and then treatment of the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019.
