Schematic
|
Terminal sialic acid can be detected on O- or N-linked glycans. Sialic acid is removed using a Sialidase. The specificity of Sialyltransferases allows you to add Azido-Sialic Acid to open positions. Azido-Sialic Acid can be detected using Biotinylated Alkyne in a click chemistry reaction. |
Data Examples
|
Labeling and detection of sialic acid on O-glycans on Bovine Fetuin. Fetuin (left side of the molecular marker; MW) and Desialylated Fetuin (right side of the molecular marker) were incubated with increasing amount of rhST3GAL1 (5, 25, 50, 250 ng) and 0.5 nmol CMP-Azido-Sialic Acid. Fetuin was treated with rcpNeuraminidase to prepare desialylated Fetuin. The reactions were then conjugated with Biotinylated Alkyne and separated by SDS-PAGE. The separated proteins were then blotted to a nitrocellulose membrane and detected with conventional Streptavidin-HRP chemiluminescence reagents. A. Total protein staining. B. Streptavidin-HRP detection of rhST3GAL1-mediated CMP-Azido-Sialic Acid incorporation. No incorporation of CMP-Azido-Sialic Acid is detected in fully sialted Fetuin. In contrast, strong labeling indicates CMP-Azido-Sialic Acid is incorporated into desialated Fetuin. Data adapted from Wu et al., (2015) Carbohydrate Res. 412:1-6. |
