Abstract
Background: Human HSV-1 glycoprotein gC-1 is heavily O-glycosylated by cellular GalNAc transferases. Results: O-Glycosylation of the gC-1 mucin domain was characterized by LC-MS/MS and expression of GalNAc-transferases by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Conclusion: O-Glycosylation of gC-1 occurs in a site-specific and ordered manner related to specific GalNAc transferases. Significance: Different target cells may generate different viral glycoprofiles affecting serological responses and infectious properties.
