Hi Radu, Many Thanks for your clarifications, and reference for background materials. I will implement all suggestions in my next expression batch. Best Wishes, Partha On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 1:53 PM, wrote: > Hi Partha, > > In this case (un-treated HEK293), you cannot use EndoH with already >

Oops, I made a mistake in my previous email, apologies! Griffithsin would also require high-Man glycans, so kifunensine treatment or GnTI-/- cells So yes, it's either PNGase or cryo-EM... Best wishes, Radu > Hi Savvas, > > Many Thanks for your inputs and references. This cell line used is

Hi Partha, In this case (un-treated HEK293), you cannot use EndoH with already purified proteins (as per your reply to Artem's email). The N-glycans will be fucosylated, hence EndoH-insensitive (see PMID: 23623336 for background infos). You can still use PNGase. But, as Artem suggested, this often

Hi Savvas, Many Thanks for your inputs and references. This cell line used is not HEK293S *MGAT1-/-. *This particular batch was purified from HEK293 cell-line stably expressing (created using lenti-methods by a former colleague) the protein of interest. In future, I will plan to do expression in t

Many Thanks Artem. I will use Kifunensine in culture for next batch expression, and will use EndoH with already purified proteins. Best Wishes, Partha On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 12:26 PM, Artem Evdokimov wrote: > Dear Partha > > Treat your culture with Kifunensine prior to transfection (or through

Dear Partha you do not specify which HEK293 cell line you have used, but if it so happens that it is the very handy HEK293S MGAT1-/- cell line (previously known as HEK293S GnTI-/- ) which produces N-linked Man5GlcNAc2 glycans you might want to consider using EndoH (e.g. see Verstraete et al. DOI

Dear Partha Treat your culture with Kifunensine prior to transfection (or throughout growth if you're using stables) and then treat purified protein with EndoH. Pretty cheap and effective. PNGase F does not *require* denaturing conditions. It just likes the protein to be 'loose' - in my experienc

Dear All, I am in a situation, almost for the first time within my limited experience, that deglycosylation might be necessary to obtain crystal. So, I thought of tapping to vast experience of CCP4BBers, while I am searching literature. I have protein that has been expressed in HEK293 cells, secr
