Project description:O-GlcNAcylation is an essential, nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, but its biochemical and phenotypic effects remain incompletely understood. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the global transcriptional response to perturbations in O-GlcNAcylation. Unexpectedly, many transcriptional effects of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) inhibition were due to the activation of NRF2, the master regulator of redox stress tolerance. Moreover, we found that a signature of low OGT activity strongly correlates with NRF2 activation in multiple tumor expression datasets. Guided by this information, we identified KEAP1 (also known as KLHL19), the primary negative regulator of NRF2, as a direct substrate of OGT. We show that O-GlcNAcylation of KEAP1 at serine 104 is required for the efficient ubiquitination and degradation of NRF2. Interestingly, O-GlcNAc levels and NRF2 activation co-vary in response to glucose fluctuations, indicating that KEAP1 O-GlcNAcylation links nutrient sensing to downstream stress resistance. Our results reveal a novel regulatory connection between nutrient-sensitive glycosylation and NRF2 signaling, and provide a blueprint for future approaches to discover functionally important O-GlcNAcylation events on other KLHL family proteins in various experimental and disease contexts.

Project description:TET proteins convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, an emerging dynamic epigenetic state of DNA that can influence transcription. Evidence has linked TET1 function to epigenetic repression complexes, yet mechanistic information, especially for the TET2 and TET3 proteins, remains limited. Here, we show a direct interaction of TET2 and TET3 with O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). OGT does not appear to influence hmC activity, rather TET2 and TET3 promote OGT activity. TET2/3-OGT co-localize on chromatin at active promoters enriched for H3K4me3 and reduction of either TET2/3 or OGT activity results in a direct decrease in H3K4me3 and concomitant decreased transcription. Further, we show that Host Cell Factor 1 (HCF1), a component of the H3K4 methyltransferase SET1/COMPASS complex, is a specific GlcNAcylation target of TET2/3-OGT, and modification of HCF1 is important for the integrity of SET1/COMPASS. Additionally, we find both TET proteins and OGT activity promote binding of the SET1/COMPASS H3K4 methyltransferase, SETD1A, to chromatin. Finally, studies in Tet2 knockout mouse bone marrow tissue extend and support the data as decreases are observed of global GlcNAcylation and also of H3K4me3, notably at several key regulators of haematopoiesis. Together, our results unveil a step-wise model, involving TET-OGT interactions, promotion of GlcNAcylation, and influence on H3K4me3 via SET1/COMPASS, highlighting a novel means by which TETs may induce transcriptional activation. ChIP-Seq experiments were performed on Illumina HiScanSQ sequencer in wild-type HEK293T cells for H3K4me3 histone marks, O-GlcNAc and HCF1, for HT-TET2, HT-TET3 and HT-OGT in HEK293T cells overexpressing those three fusion proteins and in TET2 Kd HEK293T cells for H3K4me3 histone marks. ChIP-Seqs were also performed in mouse bone marrow tissues for H3K4me3 histone marks, O-GlcNAc, endogenous Tet2 and in Tet2 Ko bone marrow tissues for H3K4me3 histone marks.

Project description:OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) is the distinctive enzyme responsible for catalyzing O-GlcNAc to the serine or threonine residues of thousands of cytoplasm and nuclear proteins that are involved in DNA damage, RNA splicing, and transcription preinitiation and initiation complex assembly. However, the molecular mechanism by OGT regulating gene transcription remains elusive. Using proximity labeling based mass spectrometry, we searched for functional partners of OGT and found that Dot1L, the conserved and unique histone methyltransferase mediated histone H3 lys79 methylation required for gene transcription, DNA damage repair, cell proliferation, and embryo development, interacts with OGT. Although this specific interaction does not regulate the enzymatic activity of Dot1L, it facilitates OGT-dependent histones O-GlcNAcylation. Moreover, OGT associates with Dot1L at transcription start sites, and depleting Dot1L decreased OGT associated with chromatin globally. Notably, downregulation of Dot1L reduces the levels of histone H2B S112 O-GlcNAcylation and histone H2B K120 ubiquitination in vivo, which are associated with gene transcription regulation. Taken together, these results reveal a Dot1L-dependent O-GlcNAcylation of chromatin.

Project description:Protein O-GlcNAcylation is a monosaccharide posttranslational modification maintained by two evolutionarily conserved enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA). Mutations in human OGT have recently been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, and yet whether and how the disturbed O-GlcNAcylation homeostasis impact the development of nervous system is not fully understood. Here, we generate transgenic Drosophila lines that conditionally express Clostridium perfringens OGA (CpOGA) to perturbate the homeostasis of protein O-GlcNAcylation. We reveal that lowering O-GlcNAcylation level, even just during early embryogenesis, can affect olfactory learning ability in adulthood. Mechanistically, decline of protein O-GlcNAcylation accompanies with emergence of facultative heterochromatin. The forced downregulation of global O-GlcNAcylation by exogenous CpOGA activity promotes nuclear foci formation of Polycomb-group protein Polyhomeotic (Ph) and accumulation of K27 trimethylation of histone H3 (H3K27me3), leading to enhanced facultative heterochromatin formation, which in turn interferes zygotic expression of several neurodevelopmental genes, particularly short of gastrulation (sog), a component of an evolutionarily conserved signaling system required for specification of neuroectoderm. Our findings highlight the importance of early embryonic O-GlcNAcylation homeostasis for the formation of a fully functional nervous system, casting new light on the etiology of OGT-associated intellectual disability.

Project description:We studied the role of the post-translational modification called O-GlcNAcylation during liver regeneration. Here we generated O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT-KO) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA-KO) hepatocyte-specific knock-out mice. 70% partial hepatectomy (PHX) was performed to induce liver regeneration. We showed that OGA-KO mice had normal liver regeneration whereas OGT-KO mice had a defect in the termination of liver regeneration.

Project description:We report that cellular O-GlcNAcylation levels decline along the course of megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation from human-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and that inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), of which catalyzes O-GlcNAcylation, prolongedly decreases O-GlcNAcylation and induces megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. To gain the better insight into the potential mechanisms underlying platelet regulation by O-GlcNAcylation ,we compared the genome-wide transcription profiles of megakaryblastic MEG-01 cells with decreased O-GlcNAcylation (OGTi) and its control counterpart using RNA sequencing. Gene ontology and enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes suggest that platelet formation might be regulated through the perturbation in cell adhesion molecules, i.e. integrin-a4 and b7, downstream of O-GlcNAc/c-Myc axis.

Project description:Decline in skeletal muscle mass and lower muscular strength are prognostic factors in advanced human cancers. We found that breast cancer suppressed O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) protein modification in skeletal muscle through extracellular-vesicle-encapsulated miR-122 that targeted O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Specifically, O-GlcNAcylation of ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) Ca2+ release channel competed with NEK10-mediated phosphorylation and increased K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, whereas O-GlcNAcylation of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA3) increased K63-linked ubiquitination and elevated protein level. Muscular protein O-GlcNAcylation was regulated by hypoxia and lactate through HIF1A-dependent OGT promoter activation, and elevated after exercise. Suppressed O-GlcNAcylation in the setting of cancer, especially through increased RYR1 protein, led to Ca2+ leak and calpain protease activation to trigger myofibrillar protein cleavage. This was associated with reduced skeletal muscle mass and contractility in tumor-bearing mice. Our findings link O-GlcNAcylation to muscular protein homeostasis and contractility, and reveal a mechanism of cancer-associated muscle dysregulation.
