Because SARS-CoV-2 D614G (aspartic acid-to-glycine) mutation links precisely to the VSV of ebola vaccine, a Pubmed search ‘ebola aspartic glycine,’ yielded no references. Next, an ‘ebola mutations’ search yielded Niemann-Pick references, so a refined search was attempted: ‘Niemann-Pick aspartic glycine,’ which indeed retrieved a D-to-G mutation:

’This change is in the cysteine-rich luminal loop of the NPC1 protein and is highly similar to commonly occurring human mutations....late-onset, slowly progressing forms of NPC disease that comprise the large majority of cases.’
To verify a link to COVID-19, a search ‘cysteine-rich covid-19’ yielded a coagulopathy link:

’....The pattern was present in both human and bat coronavirus S proteins....a positive role of cysteine palmitoylation in cell fusion has been reported for influenza virus HA proteins, while a negative role was observed for Vesicular Stomatitis virus (VSV)....Intriguingly, the CAF-motif occurs in proteins such as coagulation factor X, von Willebrand factor, platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1, and some pro-thrombin activator venom toxins that are involved in the coagulation process. The identification of a common pattern could suggest a new function of the S protein in the pathological effects of SARS-CoV-2.’

A novel mouse model of Niemann-Pick type C disease carrying a D1005G-Npc1 mutation comparable to commonly observed human mutations - PubMed
We have identified a point mutation in Npc1 that creates a novel mouse model (Npc1(nmf164)) of Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC) disease: a single nucleotide change (A to G at cDNA bp 3163) that results in an aspartate to glycine change at position 1005 (D1005G). This change is in the cysteine-rich...

New Consensus pattern in Spike CoV-2: potential implications in coagulation process and cell-cell fusion - PubMed
Coagulopathy and syncytial formation are relevant effects of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the underlying molecular mechanisms triggering these processes are not fully elucidated. Here, we identified a potential consensus pattern in the Spike S glycoprotein present within the cytoplasmic domain...
