Glycans are removed by enzyme treatment. Specific transferases can be used to incorporate Azido-GalNAc at suitable open positions. The incorporation Azido-GalNAc can then be detected using Biotinylated Alkyne in a click chemistry reaction.

Labeling Asialofetuin with GALNT2
View Larger Image

Labeling Asialofetuin with GALNT2.
Lane 1 and 2 shows UDP-Azido-GalNAc transferred to asialofetuin by rhGALNT2. Lane 3 was a negative control in the absence of UDP-Azido-GalNAc.

In each reaction, 5 µg of Asialofetuin (Sigma Aldrich), 0.5 nmol of UDP-Azido-GlcNAc, 1 µg rhGALNT2 and 1 µg of rE. faecalis O-Glycosidase was mixed in 50 µL of 25 mM HEPES supplemented with 10 mM of MnCl2 and 150 mM NaCl at pH 7.5. The reactions were incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes. The reactions were then conjugated, at room temperature for 30 minutes, with 1.0 nmol of Biotinylated Alkyne in the presence of 100 nmol of Ascorbic Acid and 5 nmol of CuCl2 for a final volume of 60 µL. The reactions were then separated with 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted to a nitrocellulose paper and detected with Streptavidin-HRP.

Protocols are guidelines. Parameters need to be optimized by end users.

 

Materials

Assay Procedure

1. Prepare a reaction mixture by combining 5 µg Protein Sample, with 1 µg rhGALNT2, 0.2 µg rE. faecalis O-Glycosidase, 0.1 µg rcpNeuraminidase, 0.5 nmol UDP-Azido-GlcNAc in the Assay Buffer with the final volume of 25 µL.

 

2. Prepare negative controls according to step 1 but omit rhGALNT2 or UDP-Azido-GlcNAc.

 

3. Incubate all the reactions and controls at 37°C for one hour.

 

4. To each of the samples, add 5 µL of 1 mM CuCl2, 5 µL of 20 mM Ascorbic Acid, and 5 µL of 1 mM Biotinylated Alkyne. Mix with gentle tapping.

 

5. Incubate all samples at room temperature for 1 hour.

 

6. Separate the reactions and controls by SDS-PAGE.

 

7. Blot the gel to a nitrocellulose membrane.

 

8. Block the blot with 10% fat-free milk for 5 minutes.

 

9. Thoroughly wash the membrane with TBST buffer by changing buffer three times for a total of 45 minutes.

 

10. Incubate the blot with 25 ng/mL Streptavidin-HRP in 30 mL TBST buffer for 30 minutes.

 

11. Thoroughly wash the membrane with TBST buffer by changing buffer three times for a total of 45 minutes.

 

12. Detect with commercial ECL (Enhanced Chemiluminescence) reagents.
