    Snippet: Mapping of these glycans onto the structures of the trimeric S proteins revealed that some of these glycans contribute to the formation of a cluster of oligomannose-type glycans at specific regions of high glycan density on MERS-CoV S. Molecular evolution analysis of SARS and MERS S genes also reveals a higher incidence of amino-acid diversity on the exposed surfaces of the S proteins that are not occluded by N-linked glycans. Additionally, we co.....
    Document: Mapping of these glycans onto the structures of the trimeric S proteins revealed that some of these glycans contribute to the formation of a cluster of oligomannose-type glycans at specific regions of high glycan density on MERS-CoV S. Molecular evolution analysis of SARS and MERS S genes also reveals a higher incidence of amino-acid diversity on the exposed surfaces of the S proteins that are not occluded by N-linked glycans. Additionally, we compare the structures of the respective glycan coats of SARS and HIV-1 envelope proteins using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and computational modelling, which delineate a sparse glycan shield exhibited on SARS S compared to other viral glycoproteins. We therefore undertook a comparative analysis of viral glycan shields from characterized class I fusion proteins to highlight how glycosylation density influences oligomannose-type glycan abundance, and the relationship between effective glycan shields and viral evasion ability. Together, these data underscore the importance of glycosylation in viral immune evasion.
