  1. Dilute 1 mM Phosphate Standard provided by the Glycosyltransferase Kit by adding 40 µL of the 1 mM Phosphate Standard to 360 µL of Assay Buffer for a 100 µM stock.
  2. Prepare standard curve by performing seven one-half serial dilutions of the 100 µM Phosphate stock in Assay Buffer. The standard curve has a range of 0.039 to 2.5 nmol per well.
  3. Dilute UDP-GlcNac to 10 mM in Assay Buffer.
  4. Dilute Coupling Phosphatase I to 20 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  5. Prepare reaction mixture containing 0.8 mM UDP-GlcNAc, 0.2 mg/mL Notch Peptide and 4 ng/µL Coupling Phosphatase I in Assay Buffer.
  6. Dilute rmEOGT to 20 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  7. Load 50 µL of each dilution of the standard curve into a plate. Include a curve blank containing 50 μL of Assay Buffer.
  8. Load 25 µL of the 20 ng/µL rmEOGT into the plate. Include a Control containing 25 µL of Assay Buffer.
  9. Add 25 µL of reaction mixture to the wells, excluding the standard curve and curve blank.
  10. Incubate sealed plate at 37 ºC for 4 hours.
  11. Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent A to all wells. Mix briefly.
  12. Add 100 µL of deionized water to all wells. Mix briefly.
  13. Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent B to all wells. Mix and incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  14. Read plate at 620 nm (absorbance) in endpoint mode.
  15. Calculate specific activity:

  Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = (Phosphate released* (nmol) x (1000 pmol/nmol)) / (Incubation time (min) x amount of enzyme (µg))

Background

Drosophila notch protein is a signaling protein that regulates the differentiation of eye, wing disk, oogenesis, segmental appendages and nervous system through lateral inhibition or induction. It functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Delta and Serrate to regulate cell-fate determination (1). The mature protein is a transmembrane protein with an extracellular domain from amino acid 53 to 1745, which consists of 36 EGF repeats (1). The EGF repeats are modified with O-linked beta -N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) by an extracellular O-GlcNAc transferase (EOGT) (2, 3). The EGF repeat 20 expressed in this construct can be used as a substrate for EOGT (recombinant mouse EOGT, R&D catalogue 8116-GT) (2). It may also be used as a substrate for protein O-Glucosyltransferase 1 (POGLUT) (4) (recombinant human POGLUT, R&D catalogue 6437-GT) and Fringe (5).
