Targeting conserved N-glycosylation eradicates SARS-CoV-2 variants infection

ABSTRACT: To assess the binding ability of glycosylated or deglycosylated spike with ACE2, we performed flow cytometry, ELISA, and BioLayer Interferometry methods. Viral entry ability was determined by luciferase intensity, immunoblotting, and immunofluorescence assay. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify the relationship of STT3A and COVID-19 severity. N-glycosylation regulatedby NF-kB/STT3A axis was investigated by knockdown approach, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and promoter assay. To specifically target SARS-CoV-2 infected cells, we developed an antibody-drug conjugate coupling non-neutralization anti-spike antibody with NGI-1 (4G10-ADC) on inhibitory effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results: We found receptor binding domain and three SARS-CoV-2 distinct surface Nglycosylation sites in 57,311 spikes retrieved from NCBI-Virus-database are highly evolutionarily conserved (99.67%) and involved in ACE2 interaction. We further identified STT3A as a key glycosyltransferase that catalyzed spike glycosylation and positively correlated with COVID-19 severity. Inhibition of STT3A by N-linked glycosylation inhibitor-1 (NGI-1) impaired SARS-CoV-2 and its variants (B.1.1.7, and B.1.351) infectivity. Most importantly, 4G10-ADC internalized SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and subsequently released NGI-1 to deglycosylate spike protein.

Project description:Despite the clinical success of anti-spike vaccines, the effectiveness of neutralizing antibodies and vaccines by rapidly spreading SARS-CoV-2 variants has been compromised. Viruses can hijack the glycosylation machinery of host cells to shield themselves from the host’s immune response and attenuate antibody efficiency. However, it still remains unclear whether targeting glycosylation on spike can impair SARS-CoV-2 and its variants infectivity.

Most importantly, 4G10-ADC internalized SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and subsequently released NGI-1 to deglycosylate spike protein. Thereby, it reinforces the neutralizing abilities in antibodies, vaccines, or convalescent sera, inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 and its variants’ infectivity. Our results suggest targeting STT3A-mediated evolution conserved glycosylation via ADC can provide a widespread impact on SARS-CoV-2 variants infection. Together, we identified a novel deglycosylation method to eradicate SARS-CoV-2 variants infection.
