a Western blotting of B3GALT4-3HA transiently overexpressed in PIGS-UGCG-DKO, PIGS-B4GALT5-DKO, and PIGS-B4GALT5-B4GALT6-TKO cells. b Representative fluorescence images of 3HA-tagged B3GALT4 in PIGS-B3GALT4-DKO, PIGS-UGCG-DKO, and PIGS-B4GALT5-B4GALT6-TKO HEK293 cells. GM130, a marker for cis-Golgi. Scale bar, 10 μm. c Left: PIGS-UGCG-DKO, PIGS-B4GALT5-DKO, and PIGS-B4GALT5-B4GALT6-TKO cells transiently expressing pME-B3GALT4-3HA were stained with T5 mAb. Right: Quantitative data of MFI from four independent experiments (mean ± SD, n = 4). P values are from one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test for multiple comparisons to PIGS-B3GALT4-DKO cells. d Western blotting of FLAG-6His tagged B3GALT4. Lysates of PIGS-UGCG-DKO, PIGS-B4GALT5-DKO, and PIGS-B4GALT5-B4GALT6-TKO cells stably expressing empty vector (Vec) and B3GALT4 were analyzed. TfR, a loading control. e Left: PIGS-UGCG-DKO, PIGS-B4GALT5-DKO, and PIGS-B4GALT5-B4GALT6-TKO cells stably expressing B3GALT4 were stained with T5 mAb. Right: Quantitative data of MFI from two independent experiments (mean ± SD, n = 2). f Schematic of LacCer enhanced galactose modification on GPI-GalNAc by B3GALT4 in the Golgi. Source data for (c) and (e) are provided as a Source Data file.
