Oligosaccharide Assembly01:24

Oligosaccharide Assembly

3.1K
Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

4.5K
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Protein Glycosylation01:25

Protein Glycosylation

8.1K
Glycosylation, the most common post-translational modification for proteins, serves diverse functions. Adding sugars to proteins makes the proteins more resistant to proteolytic digestion. Glycosylated proteins can act as markers and receptors to promote cell-cell adhesion. Additionally, they have many essential quality control functions in the cell, such as correct protein folding and facilitating transport of misfolded proteins to the cytosol, which can be degraded.
Glycosylation occurs in...

Proteoglycans01:05

Proteoglycans

4.2K
Glycans, a class of complex heterogeneous molecules, can be covalently attached to proteins to form glycosylated proteins that regulate various physiological and pathological processes. Glycosylated proteins or glycoproteins comprise N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. O-glycosylation is the most common type of protein glycosylation. Here, glycans attach to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl groups of Serine or Threonine residues. O-linked glycosylation occurs later in protein processing,...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Computational Biology
  • Proteomics

Background:

  • O-GlcNAcylation is a crucial post-translational modification (PTM) in mammalian cells, catalyzed by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT).
  • Dysregulation of O-GlcNAcylation is implicated in diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer.
  • Accurate prediction of O-GlcNAcylation sites is vital for understanding its biological roles and associated pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate existing computational tools for predicting O-GlcNAcylation sites.
  • To investigate methods for improving the accuracy of O-GlcNAcylation site predictions.

Main Methods:

  • Combined multiple datasets of experimentally validated O-GlcNAcylated sites to create a meta-dataset.
  • Evaluated three existing prediction tools using the meta-dataset.
  • Developed novel features based on protein structure and applied machine learning techniques to enhance prediction accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Existing O-GlcNAcylation site prediction algorithms demonstrated a precision below 9%.
  • Improved prediction models using new features and machine learning showed success only with balanced datasets (equal O-GlcNAcylated and non-O-GlcNAcylated sites).
  • These improved models failed to achieve significant accuracy with realistic, imbalanced datasets where O-GlcNAcylated sites are rare (~1.4%).

Conclusions:

  • Current algorithms for predicting O-GlcNAcylation sites offer minimal improvement over random chance.
  • Incorporating additional features and machine learning did not substantially enhance prediction performance on real-world data.
  • Further advancements in O-GlcNAcylation prediction likely require a deeper understanding and characterization of OGT's interaction partners.
