O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification (O-GlcNAcylation) is a monosaccharide modification on proteins predominantly inside cells. It is widely appreciated that spatiotemporal protein O-GlcNAcylation regulates a plethora of biological processes. High-throughput analytical techniques, particularly site-specific O-GlcNAc proteomics, have tremendously advanced the profiling of O-GlcNAc proteomes. Recently we established O-GlcNAcAtlas, a highly curated database of O-GlcNAc proteins/peptides/sites from experiments reported in the past forty years. However, a resource for O-GlcNAcylation quantification information is not available yet. Herein, we provide an updated database O-GlcNAcAtlas 4.0 by incorporating information of O-GlcNAcylation quantification. Exhaustive curation of published literature yielded a total of about 5,400 quantification events for 3,130 unique O-GlcNAc sites. The quantification vales were then systematically integrated with the specific O-GlcNAc sites and catalogued in O-GlcNAcAtlas, with key experimental details (including sample sources, conditions and methods) presented. Taken together, we present O-GlcNAcAtlas 4.0, a unique database hosting qualitative and quantitative data of O-GlcNAcylation on proteins. As a comprehensive repository supplemented with protein O-GlcNAcylation dynamics, the updated database will further facilitate related functional investigations by the biomedical community. O-GlcNAcAtlas 4.0 is freely accessible at https://oglcnac.org/atlas/.
O-连接的β-N-乙酰葡糖胺(O-GlcNAc)修饰(O-GlcNAc糖基化)是一种主要发生在细胞内蛋白质上的单糖修饰。人们普遍认识到,蛋白质O-GlcNAc糖基化的时空变化调节着众多生物学过程。高通量分析技术,特别是位点特异性O-GlcNAc蛋白质组学,极大地推动了O-GlcNAc蛋白质组的分析。最近,我们建立了O-GlcNAcAtlas,这是一个精心策划的数据库,收录了过去四十年实验中报道的O-GlcNAc修饰的蛋白质/肽段/位点。然而,目前还没有一个提供O-GlcNAc糖基化定量信息的资源。在此,我们通过纳入O-GlcNAc糖基化定量信息,提供了一个更新的数据库O-GlcNAcAtlas 4.0。对已发表文献的详尽筛选共产生了约5400个针对3130个独特O-GlcNAc位点的定量事件。然后,这些定量值与特定的O-GlcNAc位点进行系统整合,并编入O-GlcNAcAtlas,同时展示关键实验细节(包括样本来源、条件和方法)。综上所述,我们推出了O-GlcNAcAtlas 4.0,这是一个独特的数据库,包含蛋白质O-GlcNAc糖基化的定性和定量数据。作为一个补充了蛋白质O-GlcNAc糖基化动态信息的综合知识库,这个更新后的数据库将进一步促进生物医学界的相关功能研究。可通过https://oglcnac.org/atlas/免费访问O-GlcNAcAtlas 4.0。
