Recombinant E. coli StcE His-tag Enzyme Activity Diagram.

Recombinant E. coli StcE His-tag cleaves glycoproteins C-terminally to glycosylated Ser/Thr residues that are near the cleavage residue. Specificity for O-glycan complexity is broad. For simplicity not all O-glycans may be represented.

Recombinant E. coli StcE His-tag Enzyme Activity Assay.

Recombinant Human CD45 Protein, CF (1430-CD) was first cleaved using Recombinant E. coli StcE (Cat # 11406-MP). Following cleavage, Recombinant C. perfringens Neuraminidase Protein, CF (5080-NM) was used to remove intact Sialic Acid. O-glycans were then labeled using Recombinant Human ST3GAL2 Protein, CF (7275-GT) and CMP-Cy3-Sialic Acid (ES402). Samples were then run on a SDS-PAGE gel and imaged using the green fluorescent channel.

Background: StcE

Recombinant E. coli StcE (secreted protease of C1-esterase inhibitor) is a zinc-dependent, monomeric mucinase from Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). EHEC is a major foodborne pathogen that must penetrate a thick mucus layer for effective infection. StcE has three distinct globular domains with non-catalytic globular domains at the N- and C-terminus and the catalytic metalloprotease domain in the middle. This open arrangement is thought to allow for additional regulatory functions and flexibility to recognize large O-glycosylated substrates (1, 2). StcE is secreted via the type II general secretory pathway during infection as a major virulence factor due to its protease-meditated activity towards heavily glycosylated proteins with high levels of O-linkages that play a host defensive role such as mucin 7 and glycoprotein 340, in addition to C1-esterase inhibitor, a regulator of inflammation pathways (2). StcE has also been implicated in cleavage of glycoproteins found on the surface of various cells such as intestinal epithelial cells and neutrophils, where it has been shown to lead to depression of neutrophil migration during infection (3, 4). StcE has been proposed as a treatment for cystic fibrosis as it is has been shown to loosen mucus in affected patients (1, 4). In addition, StcE has been proposed as a useful tool for the analysis of mucin-domain glycoproteins known to be important in several human diseases including cancer (5-8). StcE has a broad specificity from simple to complex O-glycans, with specificity for a discrete peptide- and glycan-based motif that allows its utilization in glycoproteomic mapping of mucin glycosites or enrichment of mucins (5-8). The activity of recombinant StcE is demonstrated in an electrophoretic gel mobility shift assay using enzymatically fluorophore labeled mucin-like glycoproteins.
