It’s worth noting that 29 of the 72 sequences in this sublineage, including a majority of those with collection dates after October 10, also have ORF7a:P48L. Fifty of the 72 sequences here have collection dates in October.

Evidence
In the past few weeks this branch of BF.7 has grown faster than BF.7 overall, both within Denmark and in Europe overall. S:I834M involves a C->G nucleotide mutation, which is the rarest type, and S:834 is part of the fusion peptide (FP), near the border between its two parts, FP1 and the fusion-peptide proximal region (FPPR). It has been proposed that the FPPR helps to stabilize the RBD in the down conformation: “The FP forms a short helix and tucks in a pocket formed by two neighboring S protomers. The structured FPPR clashes with the CTD1 if the RBD moves up and thus appears to help clamp the prefusion S trimer in the closed, RBD-down conformation. It has also been suggested to function as a pH-dependent switch domain that modulates the RBD position.” (Zhang, et al, “Structures of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein” https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coviro.2021.08.010)
