Here we report inhibition of phospholipase C-beta1 (PLC-beta1)-mediated signaling by post-translational glycosylation with beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc modification). In C2C12 myoblasts, isoform-specific knock-down experiments using siRNA showed that activation of bradykinin (BK) receptor led to stimulation of PLC-beta1 and subsequent intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. In C2C12 myotubes, O-GlcNAc modification of PLC-beta1 was markedly enhanced in response to treatment with glucosamine (GlcNH2), an inhibitor of O-GlcNAase (PUGNAc) and hyperglycemia. This was associated with more than 50% inhibition of intracellular production of IP3 and Ca2+ mobilization in response to BK. Since the abundance of PLC-beta1 remained unchanged, these data suggest that O-GlcNAc modification of PLC-beta1 led to inhibition of its activity. Moreover, glucose uptake stimulated by BK was significantly blunted by treatment with PUGNAc. These data support the notion that O-GlcNAc modification negatively modulates the activity of PLC-beta1.

O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification characterized by the covalent attachment of a single moiety of GlcNAc on serine/threonine residues in proteins. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting step enzyme in the catecholamine synthesis pathway and responsible for production of the dopamine precursor, L-DOPA, has its activity regulated by phosphorylation. Here, we show an inverse feedback mechanism between O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation of TH at serine 40 (TH pSer40).

O-GlcNAcylated FTO promotes m6A modification of SOX4 to enhance MDS/AML cell proliferation.

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) was the first m6A demethylase identified, which is responsible for eliminating m6A modifications in target RNAs. While it is well-established that numerous cytosolic and nuclear proteins undergo O-GlcNAcylation, the possibility of FTO being O-GlcNAcylated and its functional implications remain unclear. This study found that a negative correlation between FTO expression and O-GlcNAcylation in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Extracellular O-GlcNAc is a unique post-translational modification that occurs in the epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) domain of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. The EGF domain-specific O-GlcNAc transferase (EOGT), catalyzes the transfer of O-GlcNAc to serine/threonine residues of the C-terminal EGF domain. Thus, EOGT-dependent O-GlcNAc modifications are mainly found in selective proteins that are localized in the extracellular spaces or extracellular regions of membrane proteins.

High Glucose Inhibits O-GlcNAc Transferase Translocation in Early Osteoblast Differentiation by Altering Protein Phosphatase 2A Activity.

Our previous study revealed a link between O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) localization and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity in osteoblast. Given the association of PP2A downregulation with osteoblast differentiation, we hypothesized that OGT localization changes during this process. We examined OGT localization in MC3T3-E1 cells undergoing differentiation under normal and high glucose conditions.

Mapping O- and N-Glycosylation in Transmembrane and Interface Regions of Proteins: Insights from a Database Search Study.

Glycosylation is a critical post-translational modification that influences protein folding, stability and function. While extensively studied in extracellular and intracellular regions, glycosylation within transmembrane (TM) regions and at membrane interfaces remains poorly understood. This study aimed to map O- and N-glycosylation sites in these regions using a comprehensive database search and structural validation where possible.
