Leucine rich repeat kinases 1 and 2 (LRRK1 and LRRK2) are multidomain proteins which encode both GTPase and kinase domains and which are phosphorylated in cells. Here, we present a protocol to label LRRK1 and LRRK2 in cells with 32P orthophosphate, thereby providing a means to measure their overall cellular phophorylation levels.

Metabolic labeling is used to probe the biochemical transformations and modifications that occur in a cell. This is accomplished by using chemical analogs that mimic the structure of natural biomolecules. Cells utilize analogs in their endogenous biochemical processes, producing compounds that are labeled. The label allows for the incorporation of detection and affinity tags, which can then be used to elucidate metabolic pathways using other biochemical analytical techniques, such as SDS-PAGE...

All meta-directing substituents are deactivating groups. These substituents withdraw electrons from the aromatic ring, making the ring less reactive toward electrophilic substitution. For example, the nitration of nitrobenzene is 100,000 times slower than that of benzene because of the deactivating effect of the nitro group. The first step in an electrophilic aromatic substitution is the addition of an electrophile to form a resonance-stabilized carbocation. The energy diagrams for the...

During 2-aminobenzamide labeling, the aromatic amine targets the glycan’s reducing-end carbonyl. Reductive amination connects the label to that reactive end, producing a fluorescent glycan conjugate for downstream analysis. This reaction converts a chemically informative reducing-end feature into a signal-bearing derivative that can be tracked during separation and compared across samples.
The reducing agent has a stabilization role rather than serving as the fluorescent signal source. After the aromatic amine reacts with the reducing-end carbonyl under reductive amination conditions, the reducing agent helps stabilize the resulting linkage. This produces a fluorescent glycan conjugate suitable for later chromatographic separation and fluorescence monitoring.
Native glycans can be weakly detectable, so attaching 2-aminobenzamide supplies a fluorescent handle for measurement. That added signal allows labeled carbohydrates to be followed during separation and detected through fluorescence monitoring. The practical benefit is improved analytical visibility, enabling researchers to examine glycan profiles and compare samples using a signal associated with each derivatized glycan.
A basic workflow first exposes glycans to the aromatic amine under reductive amination conditions, allowing reaction at their reducing ends. The reducing agent then stabilizes the resulting conjugates. After labeling, the glycans can be separated chromatographically, including by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, and monitored through their fluorescence for profiling or comparison.
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography provides a separation step for the fluorescent glycan conjugates. Fluorescence monitoring then detects the separated labeled species, linking chromatographic behavior with measurable signal. Together, these functions generate glycan profiles that can be compared between biological samples, supporting analysis of differences in composition or glycosylation patterns.
Researchers can use this approach when they need to profile glycans, compare glycan patterns, or characterize changes in glycosylation across biological samples. The label makes the carbohydrates easier to detect and provides a consistent fluorescent signal for analysis. It is therefore useful when sample comparisons depend on observing differences among glycan populations.
Labeled glycan profiles support structural comparison and characterization of glycosylation changes. By separating and detecting the fluorescent conjugates, researchers can examine differences in the glycan patterns associated with biological samples. These results help connect glycan-level variation with biochemical comparisons, although the profile represents analytical differences rather than a complete description of every structural feature.
