Viral infection induces production of type I interferons and expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) that play key roles in inhibiting viral infection. We found that the interferon-stimulated gene GBP5 is induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro and in vivo. GBP5 inhibits N-glycosylation of key proteins in multiple viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of Oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) Complex blocks host cell infection by SARS-CoV-2, variants of concern, HIV-1, and IAV, indicating future translational application of our findings.
