Structural snapshots of the reaction coordinate for O-GlcNAc transferase [PDF]
Visualization of the reaction coordinate undertaken by glycosyltransferases has remained elusive but is critical for understanding this important class of enzyme. Using substrates and substrate mimics, we describe structural snapshots of all species along the kinetic pathway for human O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (O-GlcNAc transferase ...

Structural insights into mechanism and specificity of O-GlcNAc transferase [PDF]
Post-translational modification of protein serines/threonines with N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is dynamic, inducible and abundant, regulating many cellular processes by interfering with protein phosphorylation. O-GlcNAcylation is regulated by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase, both encoded by single, essential, genes in metazoan genomes. It

Interaction between O-GlcNAc modification and tyrosine phosphorylation of prohibitin: implication for a novel binary switch. [PDF]
Prohibitin (PHB or PHB1) is an evolutionarily conserved, multifunctional protein which is present in various cellular compartments including the plasma membrane. However, mechanisms involved in various functions of PHB are not fully explored yet. Here we

O-GlcNAc transferase suppresses necroptosis and liver fibrosis [PDF]
Abstract Over a billion people suffer from chronic liver diseases worldwide, which often leads to fibrosis and then cirrhosis. Treatments for fibrosis remain experimental, in part because no unifying mechanism has been identified that initiates liver fibrosis.

O-GlcNAc Transferase Regulates Mitotic Chromatin Dynamics [PDF]
Mitosis must faithfully divide the genome such that each progeny inherits the same genetic material. DNA condensation is crucial in ensuring that chromosomes are correctly attached to the mitotic spindle for segregation, preventing DNA breaks or constrictions from the contractile ring.

O-GlcNAcase:promiscuous hexosaminidase or key regulator of O-GlcNAc signalling? [PDF]
O-GlcNAc signaling is regulated by an opposing pair of enzymes: O-GlcNAc transferase installs and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) removes the modification from proteins.

O-GlcNAc transferase inhibits visceral fat lipolysis and promotes diet-induced obesity
Post-translational O-linked β-N acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification acts as a nutrient-sensing mechanism. Here the authors report that O-GlcNAc transferase inhibits adipose tissue lipolysis via O-GlcNAcylation of the lipid droplet protein perilipin

Hypertonic stress modulates eNOS function through O-GlcNAc modification at Thr-866
O-GlcNAcylation, an energy-sensitive posttranslational modification, can regulate the activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Previous studies found that Thr866 is the key site for low-glucose-mediated regulation of eNOS O-GlcNAc.
