The nutrient sensor O-GlcNAc transferase modifies proteins with the O-GlcNAc moiety. In this issue, Capotosti et al. (2011) reveal that O-GlcNAc transferase not only glycosylates the cell-cycle regulator host cell factor 1 but activates it through proteolytic cleavage, providing a surprising link between metabolism and epigenetic regulation of the cell cycle.
营养传感器 O-连接的 N-乙酰葡萄糖胺转移酶(O-GlcNAc transferase)用 O-GlcNAc 修饰蛋白质。在本期中,Capotosti 等人(2011)揭示了 O-GlcNAc 转移酶不仅糖基化细胞周期调节因子宿主细胞因子 1(host cell factor 1),而且通过蛋白水解切割使其激活,为代谢与细胞周期的表观遗传调控之间提供了一个令人惊讶的联系。
