Memory and synaptic plasticity are impaired by dysregulated hippocampal O-GlcNAcylation [PDF]
O-GlcNAcylated proteins are abundant in the brain and are associated with neuronal functions and neurodegenerative diseases. Although several studies have reported the effects of aberrant regulation of O-GlcNAcylation on brain function, the roles of O ...

ABSTRACT O‐GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and its antagonist O‐GlcNAcase (OGA) regulate protein O‐GlcNAcylation, a highly conserved post‐translational modification involved in metabolic sensing. Pathogenic variants in the OGT gene cause an X‐linked congenital disorder of glycosylation (OGT‐CDG) presenting developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual ...

‘O-GlcNAc Code’ Mediated Biological Functions of Downstream Proteins
As one of the post-translational modifications, O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification (O-GlcNAcylation) often occurs on serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) residues of specific substrate cellular proteins via the addition of O-GlcNAc ...

Acid-catalysed carboxymethylation, methylation and dehydration of alcohols and phenols with dimethyl carbonate under mild conditions [PDF]
Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) chemistry has been extended to include acid-catalysed reactions of different aliphatic alcohols and phenols. For the first time, p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA), H2SO4, AlCl3 and FeCl3 have been shown to aid carboxymethylation for ...

Transcript‐Level Modulation of O‐GlcNAc Transferase for Aging‐Related Neurodegenerative Diseases
O‐GlcNAc Transferase (OGT) and O‐GlcNAcase (OGA) maintain O‐GlcNAc homeostasis, but OGT expression and activity decline in the aging brain, promoting protein aggregation and neurodegeneration. Current approaches raise O‐GlcNAc levels via OGA inhibition. New insights into OGT splicing enable direct OGT upregulation using ASO‐ or PROTAC‐based strategies,

Regulatory mechanism of O‐linked N‐acetylglucosamine protein modification on autophagy in cancer
O‐GlcNAcylation serves as a nutrient and stress sensor that dynamically regulates autophagy at multiple stages in cancer cells. It fine‐tunes autophagy initiation, maturation and fusion by modifying key proteins such as ULK1, ATG4B and SNAP‐29. Context‐dependent O‐GlcNAcylation promotes tumour adaptation and therapy resistance via autophagy remodelling.

Cardiac transcription factor Nkx2.5 is downregulated under excessive O-GlcNAcylation condition. [PDF]
Post-translational modification of proteins with O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is linked the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We investigated whether Nkx2.5 protein, a cardiac transcription factor, is regulated by O-GlcNAc.
