Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
Dilute 1 mM Phosphate Standard provided by the Glycosyltransferase Kit by adding 40 µL of the 1 mM Phosphate Standard to 360 µL of Assay Buffer for a 100 µM stock. This is the first point of the standard curve.
Complete the standard curve by performing six one-half serial dilutions of the 100 µM Phosphate stock using Assay Buffer. The standard curve has a range of 0.078 to 5 nmol per well.
Prepare reaction mixture containing 1.2 mM UDP-Gal, 0.6 mM 4-NP-GalNAc, and 4 µg/mL Coupling Phosphatase 1 in Assay Buffer.
Dilute rhC1GALT1 to 0.6 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
Load 50 µL of each dilution of the standard curve into a plate. Include a curve blank containing 50 μL of Assay Buffer.
Load 25 µL of 0.6 µg/mL rhC1GALT1 into empty wells of the same plate as the curve. Include a Control containing 25 μL of Assay Buffer.
Add 25 µL of the reaction mixture to all wells, excluding the standard curve.
Seal plate and incubate at 37 °C for 20 minutes.
Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent A to all wells. Mix briefly.
Add 100 µL of deionized water to all wells. Mix briefly.
Add 30 µL of the Malachite Green Reagent B to all wells. Mix and incubate sealed plate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Read plate at 620 nm (absorbance) in endpoint mode.

O-glycosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification of secreted and membrane bound proteins (1). The synthesis of mucin-type O-glycans is initiated by the addition of GalNAc to threonine or serine residues on proteins by polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GALNTs) (2). The GalNAc alpha 1-O-Ser/Thr structure is then extended by other glycosyltransferases to form eight types of core O-glycans (3). Core 1 beta -3-galactosyltransferase (C1GalT1), in particular, synthesizes Gal-beta 1-3GalNAc alpha 1-O-Ser/Thr, a precursor for all core 1 and core 2 based mucin-type O-glycans (4). These glycans play central roles in many processes, such as angiogenesis, thrombopoiesis, and kidney homeostasis (5). C1GalT1 forms a stable, non-covalent complex with Cosmc chaperone, C1GalT1C1, which is required for the full activity of C1GalT1 (6). Defective C1GalT1 causes a rare autoimmune disease called Tn syndrome (4) as well as susceptibility to IgA nephropathy (7). The recombinant C1GalT1 is co-purified with C1GalT1C1. The enzymatic activity of recombinant human C1GalT1 was determined using a phosphatase-coupled assay (8).
