A Nanomolar-Affinity Antibody Enabling Sensitive Labeling and High-Resolution Genomic Mapping of O-GlcNAc
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: High-affinity O-GlcNAc-specific antibodies are crucial for the sensitive detection and functional study of O‑GlcNAcylation. Here, we report the development of a pan-specific, nanomolar-affinity O-GlcNAc antibody named EPR19847 by using a degenerate O‑GlcNAcylated peptide as the immunogen. The EPR19847 antibody can be used for O‑GlcNAc detection, imaging, isolation, and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Using this novel antibody, O-GlcNAcylated proteins were enriched and identified in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next-generation sequencing (ChIP-seq) demonstrates that O-GlcNAc is enriched around the promoters of highly expressed genes, and that its genomic distribution is positively correlated with transcription-activating marks including H3K4me3, H3K9ac, and RNA Pol II in mESCs. Further analysis suggests a high occupancy of O-GlcNAcylation within super-enhancers. We anticipate that EPR19847 will serve as a powerful tool for the highly-sensitive detection and systematic functional dissection of O-GlcNAc.
