In order to determine the activity of O-linked GlcNAc transferase (OGT), a modified coupled enzyme method was proposed. This method was based on the measurement of uridine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate) (UDP), a product generated in transglycosylation reaction. In the assay, UDP was coupled to the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate using pyruvate kinase. Using a commercial pyruvate assay kit, the pyruvate was converted to a red terminal product, which could be photometrically measured at 570 nm or fluorometrically measured at 587 nm (E(m) = 535 nm) on a microplate reader. Kinetic study of a truncated recombinant mOGT and quantitative analysis of OGT in two biological samples indicated that this method was practical and competitive for quantitative analysis of OGT.
为了确定 O-连接的 N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖转移酶(OGT)的活性,提出了一种改良的偶联酶法。该方法基于转糖苷反应生成的产物尿苷 5'-(三磷酸氢)(UDP)的测量。在测定中,使用丙酮酸激酶将 UDP 与磷酸烯醇丙酮酸转化为丙酮酸偶联。使用商业丙酮酸测定试剂盒,将丙酮酸转化为红色末端产物,可在微孔板读数器上在 570nm 处进行比色测量或在 587nm(E(m) = 535nm)处进行荧光测量。对截断重组 mOGT 的动力学研究和两种生物样品中 OGT 的定量分析表明,该方法在定量分析 OGT 方面是实用和有竞争力的。
