Overview structure of PD-1 protein, cloning sequence, and SDS-PAGE result. (a) Schematic of PD-1 protein showing different domains, position of amino acid in each domain, disulfide bond location, N-linked glycosylation, predicted and identified O-linked glycosylation, range of cloning sequence, and range of purified recombinant protein with MW calculated. Amino acid positions corresponded to UniProt (Q15116). (b) SDS-PAGE analysis of recombinant PD-1 protein. Untreated (Lane 1), treated with PNGase F (Lane 2), treated with PNGase F and sialidases (Lane 3), treated with sialidases and O-protease (Lane 4), and treated with the 3 enzymes (Lane 5). Band a–e are described in text; bands correspond to PNGase F, sialidases, and O-protease enzymes are indicated. Band a* corresponds to PD-1 protein treated with sialidases and O-protease. The gel was scanned using an EPSON Expression 11000XL scanner, and images were exported using SilverFast 8.0 software. The original uncropped image of gel in this figure is provided in supplementary Fig. S1.
