Fig. 7. Examples of the O-glycan profiles that can be produced from a variety different human mucins by the Amuc_0724 O-glycanase.

Fig. 7

Mucins from different samples were pre-treated with the broad acting sialidase BT0455GH33 and then digested with the GH16 and products analysed by LC-FLD-ESI-MS. a Inflamed colonic tissue removed during a laproascopic panproctocolectomy from a patient with UC. b Bowel tissue from neonates with necrotising enterocolitis. c Colorectal cancer cell lines. Small amounts of Neu5Gc are seen in some of the UC samples (e.g., panel a) suggesting either the presence of contaminating dietary animal O-glycans remaining in the mucus layer or that this xenobiotic sugar has been incorporated into human mucins from dietary sources. The O-glycan profiles of all the different samples analysed are shown in Supplementary Fig. 21.
