Oligosaccharide Assembly01:24

Oligosaccharide Assembly

3.5K
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.
Multiple sugar molecules that may or may...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

6.4K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Protein Glycosylation01:25

Protein Glycosylation

9.2K
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...

Tagging and Fusion Proteins01:24

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

8.3K
Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Chemical Biology

Background:

  • Protein O-GlcNAcylation is crucial for cellular signaling but difficult to control precisely.
  • Existing methods for targeted O-GlcNAcylation are limited by the lack of suitable O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) ligands.
  • Chemically induced proximity (CIP) is a promising approach for targeted protein modification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for precise, protein-specific O-GlcNAcylation control in living cells.
  • To create a non-inhibitory covalent probe for OGT using ligand-directed release (LDR) chemistry.

Main Methods:

  • Repurposing a potent OGT inhibitor into a non-inhibitory covalent probe via LDR chemistry.
  • Designing and constructing a self-assembling OGTAC scaffold.
  • Applying the OGTAC in living cells to target casein kinase IIα (CK2α) for O-GlcNAcylation.

Main Results:

  • Developed novel ligands that covalently label OGT while preserving its enzymatic activity.
  • Successfully engineered a self-assembling OGTAC that recruits OGT to its native substrate CK2α.
  • Achieved selective elevation of CK2α O-GlcNAcylation in cells without impacting global modification levels.

Conclusions:

  • Introduced a new class of self-assembling chimeras for covalent OGT engagement and protein-specific O-GlcNAcylation.
  • Demonstrated a versatile platform for dissecting and controlling O-GlcNAc signaling in living systems.
  • Paved the way for next-generation OGTACs and therapeutic strategies targeting O-GlcNAc modulation.
