Omicron escapes the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies

Yunlong Cao et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 contains 15 mutations in the receptor-binding domain, leading to evasion of over 85% of tested neutralizing antibodies. Different epitope groups of neutralizing antibodies are affected to varying degrees by single mutations of Omicron. Antibodies targeting the conserved region of sarbecovirus remain most effective against Omicron.

Striking antibody evasion manifested by the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2

Lihong Liu et al.

Summary: The B.1.1.529/Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, initially detected in southern Africa, has rapidly spread globally and is expected to become dominant due to its enhanced transmissibility in the coming weeks. This variant poses a threat to the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies due to its significant antibody resistance. Even individuals who have received vaccines and booster doses may have reduced neutralizing activity against B.1.1.529.

Fine-tuning the spike: role of the nature and topology of the glycan shield in the structure and dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 S

Aoife M. Harbison et al.

Summary: The dense glycan shield of the SARS-CoV-2 spike plays a crucial role in immune evasion and activating the prefusion conformation. Recent studies have shown that the structures and occupancy of SARS-CoV-2 S glycans depend on both the host cell and the stability of the trimer. The type of glycosylation at specific sites greatly affects the stability of the receptor binding domain conformation, and the loss of glycosylation at another site may have contributed to increased infectivity.

Vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein lacking glycan shields elicits enhanced protective responses in animal models

Han-Yi Huang et al.

Summary: This study revealed that glycosylation of the viral surface spike (S) protein affects viral infectivity. Trimmed N-glycans on the S protein showed stronger immune responses and better protection in transgenic mice. Furthermore, a broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody with subpicomolar potency was discovered. These findings suggest that removing glycan shields could be an effective approach for developing a broadly protective vaccine.

Suppression of O-Linked Glycosylation of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike by Quaternary Structural Restraints

Charles F. S. Eldrid et al.

Summary: Understanding the glycosylation of the SARS-CoV-2 envelope spike protein is crucial in determining the antigenic surface of this viral target. Different recombinant fragments of the S protein may exhibit varying glycosylation patterns. The quaternary protein architecture in matched expression systems has been shown to limit O-linked glycosylation of the spike protein.

Jake A. Melby et al.

Summary: Top-down proteomics is a powerful technology for comprehensively characterizing proteoforms and understanding protein functions, disease mechanisms, and biomarkers. However, challenges in protein solubility, data analysis, and proteome complexity remain. Recent technological developments include the development of new surfactants, nanoparticles for enriching proteoforms, and strategies for multi-dimensional chromatography separation of proteins.

Assessing Antigen Structural Integrity through Glycosylation Analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 Viral Spike

Juliane Brun et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the differences in site-specific glycosylation between virus-derived spikes, wild-type non-stabilized spikes, and recombinant engineered spike glycoproteins. Additionally, it shows that their unique cellular secretion pathways lead to distinct protein glycosylation and secretion patterns, including shedding of spike monomeric subunits for the non-stabilized wild-type spike, potentially impacting the resulting immune response and vaccine design.
