O-linked Glycosylation Knock Out Cell Lines
These five cell lines were engineered to be deficient in O-linked glycosylation by knocking out key enzymes of the O-glycoslyation pathway using Crispr/Cas9. These include UDP-galactose-4- epimerase (GALE), galactokinase 1 (GALK1) and galactokinase 2 (GALK2).
Highlights:
- Cell lines were validated using mass spec, sequencing, and western blot analysis
- GALE KO- Deficient in O-glycans in normal media but media + GalNac and Galactose, cells restore O-glycosylation to normal levels
- GALE+GALK1 KO - Devoid of O-linked glycan as well as only contain high-mannose N-glycans
- GALE-GALK2 KO - Completely devoid of O-glycans and can not be restored no matter exposure to galactose or GalNac
O-linked glycosylation is the attachment of a sugar molecule to an oxygen atom in an amino acid residue in a protein. O-linked glycosylation is a form of glycosylation that occurs in the Golgi apparatus in eukaryotes. These key enzymes are critical for glycan salvage and synthesis of UDP-galactose & UDP-GalNac. These cell lines are ideal for many studies where one wishes to investigate whether O-glycans are important or play a role in their research.
