Figure Lengend Snippet: A lectin blot of whole cell lysates from NB cells with (NB_1), and without Mgat2 (NB_1(- Mgat2 )), and also, the NB_1(- Mgat2) cell line transiently transfected with Mgat2 to create the rescued cell line, called NB_1(-/+ Mgat2 ) (A) . Proteins separated on membranes were probed with Phaseolus vulgaris Erthroagglutinin (E-PHA) or Phaseolus vulgaris Leucoagglutinin (L-PHA). Coomassie blue stained SDS gels reflect similar amounts of protein per lane. Lines adjacent to blot and gel indicate molecular weight standards in kDa: 250, 150, 100, 75, 50, and 37 from top to bottom. Western blot of total membranes from NB_1, NB_1(- Mgat2 ), and NB_1(-/+ Mgat2 ) cell lines transfected with glycosylated (WT) and unglycosylated (DM) Kv3.1b (B) . (+) indicates the cell line examined. Black and gray arrows represent complex and hybrid types of N-glycans, respectively, attached to Kv3.1b. The gray dotted line indicates oligomannose type glycans attached to Kv3.1b, and the black line denotes unglycosylated Kv3.1b. Molecular weight markers adjacent to the membranes are in kDa.
Article Snippet: Biotin-conjugated Phaseolus vulgaris Erythoagglutinin (E-PHA) or Phaseolus vulgaris Leucoagglutinin (L-PHA) (Vector Laboratories, CA, USA) was employed to probe membranes containing separated glycosylated proteins.
