Article Title: Interaction of Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (PECAM) with α2,6-Sialylated Glycan Regulates Its Cell Surface Residency and Anti-apoptotic Role

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 3. Mouse PECAM mainly possesses sialylated biantennary N-gly- cans. A, a series of mutant Fc-PECAMs in which each potential N-glycosyla- tion site was mutated were purified from overexpressing COS cells, subjected to SDS-PAGE, and visualized by silver-staining. B, immunopurified PECAM (arrowhead) from mouse lung tissues was verified by SDS-PAGE and silver staining. The de-N-glycosylated anti-PECAM IgG used for immunoaffinity chromatography is also shown (right lane). The only contaminant except for IgG, shown by the asterisk, was shown not to have any N-glycans because it was resistant to peptide N-glycosidase F treatment. C, PA-labeled N-glycans releasedfromPECAMwereseparatedbyanion-exchangeHPLC.Thenumbers shown indicate the eluted positions of standard N-glycans having 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 sialic acid residues, respectively.
