Article Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation catalyzed by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) plays an important role in the regulation of tumor glycolysis. However, the mechanism underlying OGT regulation remains largely unknown. Here, we showed that coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) sensed changes of extracellular glucose levels in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Increased glucose upregulated CARM1 and OGT. CARM1 methylated OGT at arginine 348, promoting its stability through binding of the deubiquitinase USP9X. The arginine methylation of OGT increased global O-GlcNAcylation levels, thereby promoting glycolysis in NSCLC cells. OGT arginine methylation also upregulated c-Myc expression and promoted the proliferation of NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. Consistently, OGT expression was positively correlated with CARM1 in human NSCLC samples. The present findings shed light on the mechanism underlying the stabilization of OGT by arginine methylation in response to changes of glucose concentration. The study also clarified the role of the CARM1-USP9X-OGT axis in glycolysis in NSCLC, providing a potential new target or therapeutic strategy in NSCLC.

O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) coordinates with regulators of transcription, including cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12), the major transcription elongation kinase. Here, we use inhibitor- and knockdown-based strategies to show that co-targeting of OGT and CDK12 is toxic to prostate cancer cells. OGT catalyzes all nucleocytoplasmic O-GlcNAcylation and due to its essentiality in higher eukaryotes, it is not an ideal drug target.

Many membraneless organelles are thought to be biomolecular condensates formed by phase separation of proteins and other biopolymers. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) can impact protein phase separation behavior, although for many PTMs this aspect of their function is unknown. -linked β-D--acetylglucosaminylation (-GlcNAcylation) is an abundant form of intracellular glycosylation whose roles in regulating biomolecular condensate assembly and dynamics have not been delineated.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that a special process called O-GlcNAc helps protect cells from damage during stress by changing certain proteins.
- There are only two important proteins, OGT and O-GlcNAcase, that add and remove O-GlcNAc from many other proteins.
- The study showed that over 130 proteins interact with OGT, and some of these interactions change when the cell is under stress, helping scientists understand how OGT works better.

The type III secretion system effector proteins NleB and SseK are glycosyltransferases that glycosylate protein substrates on arginine residues. We conducted high-throughput screening assays on 42,498 compounds to identify NleB/SseK inhibitors. Such small molecules may be useful as mechanistic probes and may have utility in the eventual development of anti-virulence therapies against enteric bacterial pathogens.
