O-glycosylation is a highly frequent post-translation modification of proteins, with important functional implications in both physiological and disease contexts. The biosynthesis of O-glycans depends on several layers of regulation of the cellular glycosylation machinery, being organ-, tissue- and cell-specific. This review provides insights on the molecular mechanism underlying O-glycan biosynthesis and modification, and highlights illustrative examples of diseases that are triggered or modulated by aberrant cellular O-glycosylation. Particular relevance is given to genetic disorders of glycosylation, infectious diseases and cancer. Finally, we address the potential of O-glycans and their biosynthetic pathways as targets for novel therapeutic strategies.
O-糖基化是蛋白质翻译后高度频繁的修饰,在生理和疾病环境中都具有重要的功能意义。O-聚糖的生物合成依赖于细胞糖基化机制的多个层次的调节,具有器官、组织和细胞特异性。本综述提供了 O-聚糖生物合成和修饰的分子机制的见解,并强调了由异常细胞 O-糖基化引发或调节的疾病的说明性实例。特别关注糖基化遗传疾病、传染病和癌症。最后,我们探讨了 O-聚糖及其生物合成途径作为新型治疗策略靶点的潜力。
