Title : Accessibility and characterization of the glycosylated
region of
lubricin
Abstract :
- A, the enriched synovial lubricin samples, before and after trypsin digestion, were separated on a 3–8% Tris acetate gel, blotted onto PVDF membrane, and then probed with lubricin-specific antibody (mouse anti- lubricin ) and carbohydrate-specific biotinylated lectins PNA, specific for core 1 (Galβ1–3GalNAc) O-glycan, and WGA, specific for sialic acid and terminal GlcNAc
- B, SDS- PAGE (3–8 % Tris acetate gel) of the acidic glycoprotein fractions of the SF before (−) and after (+) partial de-glycosylation stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue
- C, SF lubricin was in-solution digested, and non-modified peptides were identified via mass spectrometry for protein coverage determination (black)
- The low protein coverage (in particular the mucin domain ) suggests that the mucin domain is extensively glycosylated
- Some of the core 1 structures were removed by partial de-glycosylation, and the previously glycosylated peptides were identified for protein coverage (gray)
- The results suggest that lubricin contains an extended STP-rich region relative to the mucin domain previously defined by UniProt
