Hi everybody,
Does someone of you know how to inactivate specifically PNGF?
I use PNGF to deglycosylate my protein of interest in native conditions. After this treatment I want to use my protein (deglycosylated) in some activity assays, but I want to inactive PNGF before do it, because it is quite possible that this enzyme interferes in my assays. Do you know any method to do it?
Thanks

Inactivation of PNGF
Hi calandino77,
Boiling (100deg) for 10 to 15 min will do.
Good luck.
Hi Pipurri,
Thanks again for your help. One question, wouldn´t boiling also denaturate my protein? becuase it is a complement system protein.
Greetings
Oops, sorry. I wasn't thinking about the assay part. Obviously heat-inactivation won't work.
As for now, the only way that I could think of is to use some sort of chromatography to separate them....
Now, we need to know a few more info- For example, What is the Mw of your protein of interest? Does your protein of interest carries any affinity tag?
calandino77,
You can try to chemically deglycosylate your protein with TFMS (which removes all N- and O-linked complex glycans), but this requires dissolving the protein afterwards in high molarity urea or Gnd-HCl, and then slowly renaturing the protein by for example dialyzing the denaturant away... This way you don't have to worry PNGF contamination. Both TMSF hydrolysis and protein denaturation-renaturation are used commonly in biochemical research.
Here's a protocol for the TFMS deglycosylation from Pam Stanley's Lab
Cheers,
Hi pipurri and suola,
Thanks for your help. I still don´t know which way to take but now at least I have some options. Thanks again for your time and help.
Greetings
use .1% TFA or .1% Formic acid
For clarification TFA and Formic acid with quench the PNGase F reaction and if you are doing mass spec that are excellent ion pairing agents. If you want to go further you can remove inactivated PNGase F by filtration over a microcon YM-30 centrifugal filter (Millipore, Billerica, MA).
