Developing O-GlcNAc transferase inhibitors - insights from substrate recognition
… proteins (> 1000) with -N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc / O-GlcNAcylation) is a highly dynamic and essential process in metazoa. The attachment and removal of the sugar residue is regulated by two antagonistic enzymes. The O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), which adds the sugar onto protein substrates …

Function and inhibition of the mitochondrial O-GlcNAc transferase isoform
… post-translational modification (O-GlcNAcylation) is the dynamic and reversible attachment of N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues of target proteins. It is abundant in metazoa, involving hundreds of proteins linked to a plethora of biological functions with …

Dissecting the Role of Novel O-GlcNAcylation of NF-κB in Pancreatic Cancer
… novel finding that the p65 subunit of NF-κB is O-GlcNAcylated at serine 550 and 551 upon NF-κB activation. Importantly, the overexpression of either serine-to-alanine (S-A) single mutant (S550A or S551A) or double mutant (S550A/S551A) of p65 in PDAC cells impaired NF-κB nuclear translocation, p65 …

Computational structure analysis and prediction of Ser/Thr modified by O-GlcNAc in human proteins
… modifications of proteins by O-GlcNAcylation with a computational biology approach. The O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), the enzyme that catalyses the protein O-GlcNAcylation, targets specific Serines and Threonines (S/T) of intracellular proteins. However, while other …

The Effects of a 5-Day High-Fat Diet on Skeletal Muscle O-GlcNAcylation
… O-linked B-D-N-acetylglucosamine, known as O-GlcNAc, has recently been identified as an important posttranslational modification that responds to nutrient sensing and cellular stress. Unlike other PTMs, O-GlcNAc has only two cycling enzymes. Because of its novelty, little research has been …

Development of New Photocrosslinking Approaches to Discover Binding Partners of O-GlcNAc-Modified Proteins
O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an abundant post-translational modification that is regulated by two enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAc hydrolase (OGA). While it is elusive how O-GlcNAc alters protein function, altered O-GlcNAc levels are associated with human diseases. …

Regulating the stabilities of NOD1 and NOD2, two innate immune receptors, with sugars and chaperones
… associated variants are post-translationally O-GlcNAcylated by the enzyme O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). A cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) typically used to detect protein-ligand binding was adapted in order to monitor the stability changes caused by O-GlcNAcylation, and it was found that wild …

O-GlcNAcylation: A key regulator of hepatic proliferation and differentiation
O-GlcNAcylation is a posttranslational modification involved in various physiological processes, including development, regeneration, inflammation, proliferation, metabolism, and pathogenesis of various diseases. O-GlcNAcylation is regulated by two enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), which adds a …

Reductionist animal models to probe protein O-GlcNAcylation
Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a reversible type of glycosylation of serine and threonine residues of nucleocytoplasmic proteins occurring in all animals examined to date. Its installation on protein substrates is carried out by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), and its removal by O-GlcNAc hydrolase …

Signaling pathways regulating skeletal muscle metabolism and growth
… The dynamic post-translational modification O-GlcNAcylation has been shown to serve as a cellular nutrient sensor in a wide range of cells and tissues, yet its role in skeletal muscle and SCs remains unexplored. Here, we ablated skeletal muscle O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), and thus …

Understanding tetratricopeptide repeats of <i>O</i>-GlcNAc transferase
… with O-linked N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) was serendipitously discovered in 1984. During the following decades it became clear that intracellular O-GlcNAc levels respond to various stimuli, suggesting that this modification is dynamic and may represent a novel cellular signalling …

The regulation of TGFβ/BMP signalling by deubiquitylating enzymes
… proteomic approach identified O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) as an interactor of SMAD2. SMADs have not been associated with O-GlcNAc modifications and the regulation of TGFß/BMP signalling by O-GlcNAcylation has not been investigated. Endogenous SMADs1-3 bound OGT and pulled down …

Investigating the role of UDP-<i>N</i>-acetylhexosamine pyrophosphorylases in regulating <i>O</i>-GlcNAcylation in human disease
… O-linked N-acetyl-β-<sub>D</sub>glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) was first observed on the surface of lymphocytes in 1984. It was then found that over 1,000 nucleocytoplasmic proteins are modified by O-GlcNAc (O-GlcNAcylation). Interestingly, O-GlcNAc homeostasis is regulated by a single pair of enzymes: …
