Mass Spectrometry of Deglycosylated Human ST6Gal-I Enzymes

The molecular masses of variants of human ST6Gal-I expressed in HEK cells were analyzed. Delycosylated forms of human ST6Gal-I were analyzed using Micromass Q-Tof Ultima and Synapt G2 HDMS devices (Waters UK) and MassLynx V 4.1 software.

For deglycosylation samples of the sialyltransferase were denatured and reduced. To 100 μg sialyltransferase 45 μL denaturing buffer (6 M guanidinium hydrochloride) and 13 μL TCEP (=tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine; 0.1 mM, diluted in denaturing buffer) were added. Further the appropriate volume of ultrapure water was added, so that the overall concentration of guanidinium hydrochloride was about 4 M. After incubation of the sample for 1 h at 37° C. the buffer was changed using a Bio-Spin® 6 Tris column (Bio Rad), which was pre-equilibrated with ultrapure water. The whole sample was applied onto the column and eluted by centrifugation. To the resulting eluate 5.5 μL of 0.1 U/μL solution of PNGase-F was added and incubated at 37° C. over night. Afterwards the samples were adjusted to 30% ACN (=acetonitrile) and 1% FA (=formamide) and analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

The molecular masses of variants of human ST6Gal-I expressed in P.pastoris were analyzed by mass spectroscopy. Therefore, the deglycosylated forms of human ST6Gal-I were prepared and analyzed using Micromass Q-Tof Ultima and Synapt G2 HDMS devices (Waters UK) and the MassLynx V 4.1 software. For deglycosylation, samples were denatured and reduced; 45 μL denaturing buffer (6 M guanidine hydrochloride) and 13 μL TCEP (0.1 mM, diluted in denaturing buffer) were added to 100 μg sialyltransferase. An appropriate volume of ultrapure water was added to reach an overall concentration of about 4 M of guanidine hydrochloride. After incubation of the sample for 1 h at 37°C the buffer was changed using a Bio-SpinR 6 Tris column (BioRad), which was pre-equilibrated with ultrapure water. The whole sample was applied onto the column and eluted by centrifugation. To the resulting eluate, 5.5 μL of a 0.1 U/μL solution of PNGase F was added and the mixture was incubated at 37°C overnight. Afterwards the samples were adjusted to 30% ACN and 1% FA and analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Mass Spectrometry of Glycosylated Human ST6Gal-I Enzymes

The molecular masses of variants of human ST6Gal-I expressed in HEK cells were analyzed. Glycosylated forms of human ST6Gal-I were prepared, and prepared material was analyzed using Micromass Q-Tof Ultima and Synapt G2 HDMS devices (Waters UK) and MassLynx V 4.1 software.

For mass spectrometry measurement the samples were buffered in electrospray medium (20% acetonitrile+1% formic acid). The buffer exchange was performed with Illustra™ MicroSpin™ G-25 columns (GE-Healthcare). 20 μg sialyltransferase variant with a concentration of 1 mg/mL was applied to the pre-equilibrated column and evaluated by centrifugation. The resulting eluate was analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
