Project description:Prolonged exposure to antigens drives CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to a hypofunctional state known as exhaustion, which compromises their ability to control infections and cancer. Here, we identify O-GlcNAcylation (O-GlcNAc)—a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification—as a critical regulator for CTL exhaustion. Exhausted CTLs elevated nucleus O-GlcNAc levels, coupled with increased levels of the cellular uridine diphosphate GlcNAc (UDP-GlcNAc) relative to their effector counterparts. Using quantitative chemoenzymatic O-GlcNAcomic analysis, we identified a T-box transcription factor downstream of TCF-1-centered exhaustion transition and sustenance, eomesodermin (Eomes), which undergoes intensive O-GlcNAcylation. Mechanistically, mutation of the primary O-GlcNAc sites on Eomes abolished its glycosylation, but their phosphorylation and interactions with O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) were unaffected. OGT/Eomes was indispensable for interaction with TCF-1. OGT stabilized Eomes and increased its accumulation in the nucleus, where T-bet-to-Eomes transcriptional transition drives functional exhaustion. These results uncover a novel regulatory relationship between OGT and the TCF-1/Eomes axis in promoting CTL exhaustion and impairing their protective function.

Project description:O-GlcNAcylation is the modification of serine and threonine residues with beta-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) on intracellular proteins. To investigate the role of protein O-GlcNAcylation on intestinal homeostasis, we generated intestinal epithelial cell (IEC)-specific O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) knockout in mice. The KO mice developed spontanous intestinal inflammation. To determine the underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed RNA sequencing of ileum and colon epithelial cells of wildtype and IEC-OGT KO mice.

Project description:Discriminating pathogenic bacteria from energy-harvesting commensals is key to host immunity. Using mutants defective in the enzymes of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) cycling, we examined the role of this nutrient-sensing pathway in the Caenorhabidits elegans innate immune response. Using whole genome transcriptional profiling, O-GlcNAc cycling mutants exhibited deregulation of unique stress- and immune-responsive genes as well as genes shared with the p38 MAPK/PMK-1 pathway. Moreover, genetic analysis showed that deletion of O-GlcNAc transferase (ogt-1) yielded animals hypersensitive to the human pathogen S. aureus but not to P. aeruginosa. Genetic interaction studies further revealed that nutrient-responsive OGT-1 acts through the conserved ß-catenin (BAR-1) pathway and in concert with p38 MAPK/PMK-1 to modulate the immune response to S. aureus. The participation of the nutrient sensor O-GlcNAc transferase in an immunity module conserved from C. elegans to humans reveals an unexplored nexus between nutrient availability and a pathogen-specific immune response. In C. elegans, three mutant strains(genotypes used: N2 (wild-type), ogt-1 (ok1474), oga-1 (ok1207), and pmk-1 (km25)) were treated with the human pathogen S. aureus (SA) or P. aeruginosa(PA) and OP50 (E. coli control) with three biological replications.

Project description:An X-chromosome exome sequencing analysis identified a mutation in O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) (pL254F) in a family with X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). Affected patient lymohoblastoids exhibit decreased steady state OGT levels owing to an unstable protein compared to the unaffected, related male controls. Suprisingly, global O-GlcNAc levels remained remained unaltered. This prompted us to check the both protein and mRNA levels of the other cycling enzyme, O-GlcNAcase (OGA) which was also lowered. This implies that a compensation mechanism exists, however imperfect, owing to the disease state of the individuals. We performed glabal transcriptome analysis to assess any other changes in message between patients and controls. Our study highlights small differences in the global transcriptome of patient lymhoblastoids that have the L254F mutation in O-GlcNAc transferase when compared to familial controls using Illumina sequencing of total RNA

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:Abstract: O-GlcNAc is an abundant post-translational modification found on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins in all metazoans. This modification regulates a wide variety of cellular processes, and elevated O-GlcNAc levels have been implicated in cancer progression. A single essential enzyme, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), is responsible for all nucleocytoplasmic O-GlcNAcylation. Understanding how this enzyme chooses its substrates is critical for understanding, and potentially manipulating, its functions. Here we use protein microarray technology and proteome-wide glycosylation profiling to show that conserved aspartate residues in the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) lumen of OGT drive substrate selection. Changing these residues to alanines alters substrate selectivity and unexpectedly increases rates of protein glycosylation. Our findings support a model where sites of glycosylation for many OGT substrates are determined by TPR domain contacts to substrate side chains five to fifteen residues C-terminal to the glycosite. In addition to guiding design of inhibitors that target OGT's TPR domain, this information will inform efforts to engineer substrates to explore biological functions.

Project description:O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is overexpressed in aggressive prostate cancer. Here, we employed ChIP-seq to map chromatin-bound O-GlcNAc loci in prostate cancer cells and discovered that these overlap with sites of active transcription and MYC binding. Using RNA-seq, we show that inhibition of OGT promotes MYC-dependent transcriptional repression of mRNAs involved in G1-S transition. O-GlcNAc ChIP-seq regions are highly enriched to transcription start sites and identify the ‘GFY’-motif. Proteins binding to this motif have not been established and we use synthetic oligonucleotides as a bait to enrich protein complexes associated with this sequence. By comparing the unbiased proteomic data from oligonucleotide enrichment with proteomic data from O-GlcNAc and MYC ChIP-mass spectrometry, we identified host cell factor 1 (HCF-1) as an interaction partner of MYC. Inhibition of OGT disrupted the interaction between MYC and HCF-1, and compromised MYC’s ability to promote proliferation of prostate cancer cells in the absence of androgens. Reverse phase protein arrays identified a set of proteins involved in mitosis that are dependent on MYC and OGT activity for expression. In conclusion, we show that OGT activity regulates MYC-driven proliferation by coordinating transcription and translation of cell cycle genes.
