aEach value was calculated by dividing the sum of the intensities of target glycopeptides by the total intensity of all peptides containing a specific glycosylation site. The glycosylation on N149, N17 in Gamma and N717 in Delta was not determined due to lack of valid data

bIn sequential enzyme digestion, for example, Lys-C/CHTR, the first (Lys-C) and second (CHTR) digestions were conducted at 52 °C/1 h and 37 °C/overnight, respectively. CHTR represents chymotrypsin; aLP represents alpha lytic protease

cThe amino acid sequence of the 2nd peptide form of a glycosylation site (if any) overlaps with most of the region of the 1st peptide, but differs by 1–3 residues at the N-terminal or C-terminal end
