OverviewOverview

O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of specific, serines/threonines on intracellular proteins in higher eukaryotes has been, shown to directly regulate important processes such as the cell cycle, insulin sensitivity and transcription. The structure, molecular mechanisms, of catalysis, protein substrate recognition/specificity of the eukaryotic, O-GlcNAc transferase and hydrolase are largely unknown. Here we describe, the crystal structure, enzymology and in vitro activity on human, substrates of Clostridium perfringens NagJ, a close homologue of human, O-GlcNAcase (OGA), representing the first family 84 glycoside hydrolase, structure. The structure reveals a deep active site pocket highly, conserved with the human enzyme, compatible with binding of O-GlcNAcylated, ... [(full description)]
