Figure 9. Glycosylation of CCN proteins.

Figure 9

(A–D) Purified fraction of CCN3/NOV (A, B) or CCN2/CTGF (C, D) that were stored at indicated temperatures for three months were subjected to denaturing (+ DTT) and non-denaturing (− DTT) SDS-PAGE (Bis/Tris 4–12% gradient). The gels were blotted onto Protran membranes and subsequently probed with a CCN3/NOV- (A), a CCN2/CTGF- (C), or a ConA-HRP conjugate (B, D). In this analysis, a soluble PDGF type β receptor (PDGFRβ) was used as a highly glycosylated protein control. BSA and the bacterial expressed CCN3/CTGF (BioVendor) were used as negative controls. In this set of experiments the blots A and C were cut at indicated cut edges prior incubation with antibodies directed against CCN proteins or PDGFRβ.
