(a) Extracted ion chromatograms of the heavy and light forms of two representative O-GlcNAc-glycosylated peptides,
-crystallin peptide 158-AIPVSREEKPSSAPSS-173 (top) and OGT peptide 390-ISPTFADAYSNMGNTLK-406 (bottom). Co-elution by reverse-phase liquid chromatography was observed. (b) Quantification from the isotopic cluster of the heavy (m/z = 810.061) and light (m/z = 806.416) forms of the
-crystallin peptide yielded a heavy:light ratio of 0.97 -
0.09, 0.97 + 0.10 (g.s.d. = 1.10). Quantification of the heavy (m/z = 1,308.605) and light (m/z = 1,302.569) forms of the OGT peptide yielded a heavy:light ratio of 0.93 -
0.12, 0.93 + 0.14 (g.s.d. = 1.15). Before labeling, both proteins were added to neuronal lysates at a ratio of 1:1 (n = 7).
