Cleavage of engineered LDN motifs by N. benthamiana HEXOs. Kappa-5 was co-expressed with p19, CeGalNAcT and different HEXO genes in wild-type plants. After isolation of the apoplast fluid (at 6 dpi) the presence of the LDN motif on kappa-5 N-glycans was analyzed. (A) Soybean agglutinin (SBA) binding assay for detection of terminal GalNAc. Lectin binding is measured as absorbance at 450 nm. (B–D) Kappa-5 was purified from the apoplast fluid and the N-glycan composition was analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS. MS profiles are given for N-glycans of kappa-5 upon co-expression of GalNAcT only (B), or combined with co-expression of HEXO2B (C), or HEXO3A (D). When a MS peak represents multiple N-glycan structures of identical mass, the possible positions of these sugar residues on the N-glycan are indicated between brackets. m/z refers to mass-to-charge ratio.
