Functional Analysis of O-GlcNAcylation in Cancer Metastasis
One common and reversible type of post-translational modification (PTM) is the addition of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification (O-GlcNAcylation), and its dynamic balance is controlled by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and glycoside ...

Age-related elevation of O-GlcNAc causes meiotic arrest in male mice
In recent years, the postponement of childbearing has become a critical social issue. Male fertility is negatively associated with age because of testis aging. Spermatogenesis is impaired with age, but the molecular mechanism remains unknown. The dynamic

An ancestral secretory apparatus in the protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis [PDF]
The protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis belongs to one of the earliest diverged eukaryotic lineages. This is also reflected in a simple intracellular organization, as Giardia lacks common subcellular compartments such as mitochondria, peroxisomes ...

Distribution of O-GlcNAc Transferase in the Rat Pancreas.
O−GlcNAc transferase(OGT) catalyzes the attachment of N−acetylglucosamine monosaccharides to the hydroxyl group of serine or threonine residues of intracellular proteins and may play an important role in the hexosamine pathway. We examined the localization of OGT protein in the rat pancreas.

O-GlcNAc: A Sweetheart of the Cell Cycle and DNA Damage Response
The addition and removal of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to and from the Ser and Thr residues of proteins is an emerging post-translational modification.

A structural and biochemical model of processive chitin synthesis [PDF]
Chitin synthases (CHS) produce chitin, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. The molecular mechanism of processive chitin synthesis is not understood, limiting the discovery of new inhibitors of this enzyme class.

O‐GlcNAc Transferase is a Critical Regulator of Cytokinesis
O‐GlcNAc is a ubiquitous and dynamic post‐translational protein modification consisting of a single N‐acetylglucosamine moiety linked to serine or threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that elevated O‐GlcNAc levels either though pharmacological or genetic manipulation leads to delays in cell ...

Substrate and product analogues as human O-GlcNAc transferase inhibitors [PDF]
Protein glycosylation on serine/threonine residues with N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a dynamic, inducible and abundant post-translational modification. It is thought to regulate many cellular processes and there are examples of interplay between O-GlcNAc and protein phosphorylation. In metazoa, a single, highly conserved and essential gene encodes
