a Deconvoluted intact mass spectra of secreted, purified MUC1 reporter produced in HEK293KO C1GALT1, HEK293KO COSMC, KI ST6GALNAC1, HEK293KO GCNT1, ST3GAL1/2, and HEK293KO GCNT1 cells. Reporters were treated with neuraminidase to remove sialic acids and reduce complexity, and digested by Lys-C followed by HPLC C4 isolation yielding the 157 amino acid MUC1 TR O-glycodomain fragment. All MUC1 O-glycoforms (Tn and T) showed a rather homogeneous mass comprising 32–35 HexNAc/HexHexNAc residues, and with 33 or 34 HexNAc/HexHexNAc being the most abundant peak. For all intact mass spectra experimentally determined and theoretically calculated masses were composed in Supplementary Table 4. b Site-specific O-glycopeptide LC–MS/MS analysis of MUC1 reporters after AspN digestion.
