The COVID-19 pandemic has led to worldwide efforts to understand the biological traits of the newly identified HCoV-19 virus. In this mass spectrometry (MS)-based study, we reveal that out of 21 possible glycosites in the HCoV-19 S protein, 20 are completely occupied by -glycans, predominantly of the oligomannose type. All seven glycosylation sites in human angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) were found to be completely occupied, mainly by complex -glycans. However, glycosylation did not directly contribute to the binding affinity between HCoV-19 S and hACE2. Additional post-translational modification (PTM) was identified, including multiple methylated sites in both proteins and multiple sites with hydrox... More
