Abstract | Coronaviruses are positive-stranded RNA enveloped viruses. The helical nucleocapsid is surrounded by a lipid bilayer in which are anchored three viral proteins: the spike (S), membrane (M) and envelope (E) proteins. The M protein is the major component of the viral envelope and is believed to be its building block. The M protein of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) contains a short N-terminal domain with an N-glycosylation site. We investigated their N-glycosylation and show that polylactosamine chains are conjugated to SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV M proteins in transfected and infected cells. Acidic residues present in the first transmembrane segments of the proteins are required for their glycosylation. No specific signal to specify polylactosamine conjugation could be identified and high mannose-conjugated protein was incorporated into virus-like particles. |
