The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in millions of infections and deaths globally. Although vaccination campaigns are mitigating the pandemic, emerging viral variants continue to pose challenges. The spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 plays a critical role in viral entry by binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, making both proteins essential targets for therapeutic and vaccine development. Glycosylation of these proteins influences their structure and function, underscoring the need for detailed site-specific glycoproteomic analysis.
In this study, we characterized the N- or O-glycosylation profiles of recombinant receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike protein and ACE2 proteins expressed from HEK293 cells, as well as S2 subunit of spike protein expressed in plants cells. Using a high-resolution Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer integrated with the Ultimate 3000 RSLCnano and IQ-GPA (Identification and Quantification of GlycoProteome Analyzer), 148 N- and 28 O-glycopeptides from RBD, 71 N-glycopeptides from the S2 subunit, and 139 N-glycopeptides from ACE2 were characterized.
Additionally, we report novel post-translational modifications (PTMs) in RBD glycopeptides, including mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) and GlcNAc-1-phosphate-6-O-mannose of N-glycan, and O-acetylation of O-glycan, identified for the first time. These findings provide valuable insights into the glycosylation patterns that influence protein function and immunogenicity, offering new perspectives for the development of vaccines and antibody-based therapies against COVID-19.
