Background: Alpha-1,4-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase 4/A4GNT
GlcNAc alpha 1-->4Gal beta -->R on mucin (1). Alpha-1,4-GlcNAc-capped mucin-type O-glycan inhibits cholesterol alpha -glucosyltransferase from Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and suppresses Hp growth (2). Hp infection is widespread and thought to be the causes of the development of gastric lesions including gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and gastric carcinoma (3). The enzymatic activity of the recombinant protein was determined using a phosphatase-coupled assay (4).

Protocols
View specific protocols for Recombinant Human A4GNT Protein, CF (8960-GT):
Materials
- Glycosyltransferase Activity Kit (Catalog # EA001)
- 10X Assay Buffer (supplied in kit): 250 mM Tris, 100 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5
- MnCl2 (supplied in kit): 100 mM
- Recombinant Human alpha -1,4-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase 4/A4GNT (rhA4GNT) (Catalog # 8960-GT)
- UDP-GlcNAc (Sigma, Catalog # U4375), 50 mM stock in 50% ethanol
- D-(+)-Galactose (Sigma, Catalog # G0625), 750 mM stock in deionized water
- 96-well Clear Plate (Catalog # DY990)
- Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Prepare 1X Assay Buffer containing 10 mM MnCl2 by combining 10X stocks and diluting 10-fold with deionized water.
- Dilute 1 mM Phosphate Standard provided by the Glycosyltransferase Kit by adding 40 µL of the 1 mM Phosphate Standard to 360 µL of 1X Assay Buffer for a 100 µM stock. This is the first point of the standard curve.
- Complete the standard curve by performing six one-half serial dilutions of the 100 µM Phosphate stock using 1X Assay Buffer. The standard curve has a range of 0.078 to 5 nmol per well.
- Prepare reaction mixture containing 5 mM UDP-GlcNAc, 200 mM D-(+)-Galactose, and 4 µg/mL Coupling Phosphatase 1 in 1X Assay Buffer.
- Dilute rhA4GNT to 4 ng/µL in 1X Assay Buffer.
- Load 50 µL of each dilution of the standard curve into a plate. Include a curve blank containing 50 μL of 1X Assay Buffer.
- Load 25 µL of 4 ng/µL rhA4GNT into empty wells of the same plate as the curve. Include a Control containing 25 μL of 1X Assay Buffer.
- Add 25 µL of the reaction mixture to all wells, excluding the standard curve.
- Seal plate and incubate at 37°C for 20 minutes.
- Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent A to all wells. Mix briefly.
- Add 100 µL of deionized water to all wells. Mix briefly.
- Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent B to all wells. Mix and incubate sealed plate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Read plate at 620 nm (absorbance) in endpoint mode.
- Calculate specific activity:
|
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = |
Phosphate released* (nmol) x (1000 pmol/nmol) |
| Incubation time (min) x amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Derived from the phosphate standard curve using linear or 4-parameter fitting and adjusted for Control.
Per Reaction:
- rhA4GNT: 0.1 µg
- Coupling Phosphatase 1: 0.1 µg
- UDP-GlcNac: 2.5 mM
- D-(+)-Galactose: 100 mM
