Post-translational modifications play important roles in transcriptional regulation. Among the less understood PTMs is O-GlcNAcylation. Nevertheless, O-GlcNAcylation in the nucleus is found on hundreds of transcription factors and coactivators and is often found in a mutually exclusive ying-yang relationship with phosphorylation. O-GlcNAcylation also links cellular metabolism directly to the proteome, serving as a conduit of metabolic information to the nucleus. This review serves as a brief introduction to O-GlcNAcylation, emphasizing its important thematic roles in transcriptional regulation, and highlights several recent and important additions to the literature that illustrate the connections between O-GlcNAc and transcription.
翻译后修饰在转录调控中发挥着重要作用。在了解较少的翻译后修饰中,O-连接的N-乙酰葡糖胺化(O-GlcNAcylation)便是其中之一。然而,细胞核中的O-GlcNAcylation存在于数百种转录因子和共激活因子上,并且常常与磷酸化处于一种相互排斥的阴阳关系中。O-GlcNAcylation还将细胞代谢直接与蛋白质组联系起来,作为代谢信息传递至细胞核的一条途径。本综述简要介绍了O-GlcNAcylation,强调其在转录调控中的重要主题作用,并突出了文献中一些近期的重要补充内容,这些内容阐明了O-GlcNAc与转录之间的联系。
