A major challenge to end the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is to develop a broadly protective vaccine that elicits long-term immunity. As the key immunogen, the viral surface spike (S) protein is frequently mutated, and conserved epitopes are shielded by glycans. Here, we revealed that S protein glycosylation has site-differential effects on viral infectivity. We found that S protein generated by lung epithelial cells has glycoforms associated with increased infectivity. Compared to the fully glycosylated S protein, immunization of S protein with N-glycans trimmed to the mono-GlcNAc–decorated state (SMG) elicited stronger immune responses and better protection for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) transgenic mice against variants of concern (VOCs). In addition, a broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody was identified from SMG-immunized mice that could neutralize wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and VOCs with subpicomolar potency. Together, these results demonstrate that removal of glycan shields to better expose the conserved sequences has the potential to be an effective and simple approach for developing a broadly protective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. A vaccine developed by removing glycan shields in the SARS-CoV-2 S protein conferred protection against infection with variants of concern. Vaccines that elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) will be essential for curbing the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Here, Huang et al. evaluated the immunological impact of enzymatically removing glycan shields from the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. The authors found that immunizing hamsters or mice with S protein lacking glycan shields, termed SMG, elicited robust and broadly reactive immune responses. Vaccinated mice were protected from challenge with the alpha, gamma, and delta variants of concern. Antibodies isolated from vaccinated animals could also neutralize the omicron variant. Together, these data support further investigation into SMG as a candidate SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
