Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based glycosyltransferase assay has been used to measure UDP-Gal:N-acetylglucosamine beta-1,4-galactosyl-transferase (EC 2.4.1.38) activity in detergent extracts of chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. LEC11 cells (a mutant of the CHO cell line, Pro -5), which are known to express a complex array of carbohydrate structures, were used to develop the assay for use with whole cell extracts. A detergent-solubilized preparation of the enzyme from whole cells was used to convert the substrate, lactotriglycosylceramide, to the product, neolactotetraglycosylceramide. The monoclonal antibody, 1B2, which specifically binds to the Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc epitope, was used in an ELISA to identify and quantify the product. The enzyme activity in the preparations was found to be similar to that obtained by conventional radioactive assay methods. The beta-galactosyltransferase found in LEC11 cell detergent extracts exhibited an absolute requirement for the nucleotide sugar and MnCl2. The activity of the enzyme was also strictly dependent on the presence of exogenous glycolipid acceptor. When Triton X-114 was used to solubilize the LEC11 beta-galactosyltransferase, activity was found in both the hydrophili...Continue Reading
