Figure Lengend Snippet: High-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS) and MS/MS Ion Search for enriched eNOS O-GlcNAcylation sites. ( A ) Inset, eNOS protein was recovered from gel. Fractionation by SDS-PAGE revealed a single major eNOS band, which was analyzed by HPLC–MS. ( B ) Left panel: MS/MS Ion Search score of eNOS Ser867 O-GlcNAcylation site. Upper right panel: representative western blot of S867A-eNOS-transfected HEK293 cells showing O-linked GlcNAc from control or low glucose -treated cells (n = 3) incubated for 6 h. Lower right panel: quantification of the ratio between control and low glucose treated O-GlcNAcylation. ( C ) Left panel: MS/MS Ion Search score of eNOS Thr866 O-GlcNAcylation site. Upper right panel: representative western blot of T866A-eNOS-transfected HEK293 cells showing O-linked GlcNAc from control or low glucose -treated cells (n = 3) incubated for 6 h. Lower right panel: quantification of the ratio between control and low glucose treated O-GlcNAcylation. ( D ) Left panel: representative western blot of T866A-eNOS-transfected BAECs showing O-GlcNAcylation from control or low glucose -treated cells (n = 3) incubated for 6 h. Right panel: quantification of the ratio between control and low glucose treated O-GlcNAcylation. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM and signal density of O-GlcNAc and P-eNOS bands relative to the corresponding total eNOS bands. Control, 5 Mm glucose; LG, 1 mM glucose. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure (A), (B), (C) and (D). ** P < 0.01 vs. control.
Article Snippet: Membranes used for O-GlcNAc analysis were stripped and probed with rabbit polyclonal anti-P-eNOS (Ser-1177) Ab (Cell Signaling Technology), and then stripped and reprobed for total eNOS.
